Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885/6) ~ John Singer Sargent

Vivir es echarte de menos

Ye shepherds tell me have you seen

My Flora pass this way?

In shape and feature beauty’s Queen

In pastoral array.

A wreath around her head she wore

Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose

And in her hand a Crook she bore

And sweets her breath compose.

Sargent’s paint box with tube paints, folding rectangular palette,

and round palette, all used for oil painting.
