Wood Sprites Merry Ancient Ritual

Sweet-scented  lupins , foxgloves , violas ,  giant lillies ,damasks ,
mosses and china roses rich in a variety of perfumes and colours 
Circular herb beds, rare , exotic climbers on the Elizabethan wall.
Overhanging undergrowth winding little path past rose flowerbeds
Nestled among large mossy rocks rays of sunlight filtered through
round  tables  set  with candles, crystal and Middle Ages crockery.
In each guests  place was a little red  box  tied  with a gold ribbon.
At  the Castle , it  sprang out of an impulsive hearthside challenge
Natures  needs  are  lavish in Spring with  light and dark capacities
Blossoming artfully full of sweetness + light  or dark  and  Gothic.
Clever  deep  forest kitchen stone pantry glittering with candlelight 
glowing and smouldering  with a sage smoked medieval orchestra
Angel cake and hot-buttered muffins, bursting with peel +  cherries 
Wood sprites ancient merry rituals ,folklore primeval forest sounds
Knights templar greet  Friar Tuck with gold gifts + flowers of chivalry
Interwoven drapery brilliant string musicians on chellos and violins
The  chink  of champagne glasses rustle of silk and  trailing chiffon.
Breathtakingly beautiful green eyes sparkled her white slender hand
Blazing fire, rich ,dark fruit cake,she leaned against the trunk of a tree
Her long dark hair flowing in the secret garden enchanted hideaway
