THE PRIMROSE - a reprint

As Spring does its best to break through, here's a reminder of life renewed.

...........................................................................................

Peeping from beneath the tree,

The lemon primrose spoke to me.

Winter's done, I heard it say,

Warmer days are on the way.

 

Mother Nature waits with glee,

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.

Are you sure you want everyone to know that 'flowers' speak to you? And we should expect the same? Are you trying to say that Spring has sprung? Don't let the winter know you think it's dead, or else! ta muchly, Nick

You've not lost it, MC.
Faithful rhythm throughout. I appreciate the skill in managing the accent.
And dead easy to propagate - just shove a spade through them a few times.
