Valsa George Poet Couplet

A Poem Lovely As a Flower

A poem lovely as a flower! How could one not be moved
By a blossoming beauty in celestial contours grooved

A flower is grace and elegance incarnate
It is fragrance and loveliness- aggregate

Burning in flame, bedecking hills and vales,
Some bloom to die unnoticed in lonely isles!

Nodding in glee with the gentle touch of winds
They remain bees’ and butterflies’ bosom friends

In beautiful parlors, they proudly reside
Over the freshly dug up graves, they sadly preside 
       
Like stars in the firmament, on Earth they shine
Who else other than God, their beauteous form design?
