Purple vetch and ribwort plantain
Jostle lush clover in English rain
Dogrose dotted on a briared sprawl
prickly as it meandrs tall
Speaking volumes of words,unheard
Spring,flowers,in which all senses merge

Follow the track with the scenic view,
into the wood with a carpet blue.
Between clumps of gorse in yellow garb,
along a path baked summer hard.
Around shadu ponds that teem with life,
rush and sedge amidst tall loose strife.
Into the meadow,a country stile,
contemplating I sit awhile.

Buttercup,daisy and cowslip
Together mix in fellowship;
Swaying pelts of grasses fine
Bask in Spring sunshine.
Purple vetch,ribwort plaintain
Jostle lush clover in English rain;
Scalious,burnets protude,
Butterflies gorge their pollen food.
Hawthorn dense and tough
Amidst sweet scented woodruff;
In rambled briar sprawl
Prickly and wandering tall.
