A Country Wildflower

Can you recall seeing me on a country walk,
        winding my tendrils tenderly on a rusty fence;
tendrils and spikes are my leaves with blooms of purple,
            I crawl and sprawl all summer long . . . 
I think that I am more beautiful than any red rose,
        growing in a garden-   for I am wild and free;
a country wildflower that touches your heart,
            with my creeping and crawling in the sun.
