Notes About The Poem

A Glimpse In the Garden

My garden lies between the trees
 Where lilies dance in gentle breeze
      And lilacs whisper pretty please
 To  a butterfly's caressing tease

         Nearby glows the buttercup
   Where  honey bees come to sup
        While  hummingbirds on branches squint
  To catch a glimpse of hyacinths
      And daffodils in yellow coats
 Sway to songbirds dulcet notes

 Queen Anne's lace is also grown
 With Forget-me-nots and anemones
     But the rose in beauty stands alone
 And smiles demurely from her throne
                             ----
 Joseph May

Your write is as lovely as your picture! The rose may be queen, but I have always been partial to wildflowers. None the less, this is a beautiful ode to all of them :) have great day Joseph :)
