I love to walk the garden long.
When all the winter storms are gone.
Yes, snowdrops are the first to show.
Majestic heads come with the thaw.
Blankets of crocus are quite a sight.
Pushing upwards towards the light.
Colorful daffodils like soldiers stand.
The finest regiment in the land.
In June the roses in fancy dress.
Reveal their splendor for the sun to caress.
Dewdrops form as summer fades.
As sharp east winds sweep up the glade.
The flowers then close their weary eyes.
And sleep once more till spring arrives.
