Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Am An Orchid

Now slipping in peace the hues of day
Maybe this I fully know;
Above the vales, the dappled fields
Of bushy lanes and down to where
The brimful city hoofs below.

Again I feel the seed of dawn
Coiled inside my roots  till all 
Of white mist were drawn.
I've twirled with the isles at night,
Sweet and chaste I lie
Where fresh and tinseled moonbeams sigh.
