through the morning window
above the grape hyacinths
proudly the corkscrew hazel opens
beneath the flowering cherry’s dazzle
between them glows the sedate camelia
to the left of an errant flowering currant
further to the right find the forsythia bright
under all of these a rose well on its way
next to the azalea that is about to explode
but the daffodils have gone over now
blue bells and lily of the valley will follow suit
so subtle in undertones the lavender moves
and far the japanese anemones slowly grow
all off to a goodly start are
the potted geraniums
the lobelia the hardy daisy yellow
soon soon oh soon my beloved will come
to my garden and sit with me
