Flower in the Crannied Wall

Alfred, Lord Tennyson(1809–1892)

The Holy Grail and Other Poems, 1869

Flower in the crannied wall,I pluck you out of the crannies,I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,Little flower—but if I could understandWhat you are, root and all, and all in all,I should know what God and man is.
