Lockdown Larcs Poet Lyric

In a Spin

oh prunus spinosa 
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white

to see this thorn maturing
in the autumn hue
makes my heart want to sing
so full of fruit, deep blue

but there is this bitter taste
is there something you can do
it would seem such a waste
what if you merge into a brew

oh prunus spinosa 
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white

freezing you to release your juice
sweetened and you're almost there
soon to become a new produce
regularly revolved with loving care 

leave you now to father time
no tonic needed to begin
this time you'll taste sublime
just sip what was once in a spin

oh prunus spinosa 
you are my delight
oh prunus spinosa
flowering so white
