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
