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!

What about us grass? - not a whisper - just them flower things. Well it's not fair, unless of course you're a moo-cow, then it is fayre. Oops! missed the point again. Ah well, never mind I like pastorals, all sorts of chalk really. Like the rhyming simplicity of what is around the corner of the seasons. Ta much, your obedient reader, Nick.

They look. beautiful in my garden at the moment. The blues and reds are spectacular but I don't think you can beat a wild cowslip for its sheer delicate simplicity.
