THE PRIMROSE
Peeping from beneath the tree,
The lemon primrose spoke to me.
Winter's done, I heard it say,
Warmer days are on their way.
Mother Nature waits on me
(The First Rose is my name you see)
While other flowers stay in bed,
I welcome spring and show my head.
Then, with the golden daffodil,
I gild the countryside until
In turn, the other blooms appear,
Assured that summer's lease is near.
Peeping from beneath the tree,
I heard the primrose speak to me.
When nature lives her life anew,
You'll hear the primrose speak to you.

Hey - be fair! Whispering Grass had its moment
of fame with a huge hit by Windsor Davies and
Don Estelle. Why shouldn't one unpretentious
flower have its moment too albeit in more modest surroundings?
As for "cowslip" - over to you JC for appropriate words!
