The Flower Tapestry

When winter became a Spring day 
The first flower born..... 
the Princess of Flowers had much to say....... 
The winter had left the castle all forlorn 

How sweet to have flowers in the Hall........ 
On a  tapestry on the wall 
No flower to big or too small 

A walk around the castle ground 
Revealed much to be found 
The South Wind Prince, 
sent a wind warm and light 
Upon it, the flowers bright 

The Princess  collected.......... 
The flowers......... 
So carefully selected 
To plant on the tapestry garden 
To hang on the wall........... 
In the Great Hall 

When  an Autumn day becomes winter cold 
The tapestry will comfort all 
The colour..... 
The scent it will hold............ 
in the Great Hall 

The flowers, gathered so......... 
The ribbons and silks 
A blaze of colour........... 
Scattered on a tapestry maedow 

The Flower Princess, 
and all her helpers 
Waited for the sunniest day, 
for they had a tapestry to display 

Before long..... 
She gathered her throng........ 
The tapestry ready for showing 
The scent wafting through 
Honey suckles 
Roses 
Lilies too 
Flowers of deepest through 
red,yellows and pinks 
The colours living......... 
On a tapestry 

They carried the tapestry to the Hall 
All gasped in wonder at it all 
For when the wind blew........... 
The flowers grew........ 
On a tapestry  beautiful too 

A garden for all........ 
To be hung in the Great Hall 
no one suspected 
How those colours reflected 
Such flowers to enthrall
