If it Were lighter Touch, Then petal of flower resting On grass, Oh still too heavy it Were. Too heavy! This is a poem that speaks of love and about the heaviness of affection and the fact that it is not light. The poem suggests that if the flower were lighter than the touch on the flower which is petal, then this would be a "too heavy" feeling.
