Flower in the Crannied Wall
 
Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron (1809–92)
 
 
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 understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,        5
I should know what God and man is.
