One single bud of
The pink hyacinth peeped out
On our wedding day.

Of life and sweet love

Posted on 23 December 2013 by Smith.je

In the cool still night
Dew hangs on the violets
And love on your lips.

On the damp Spring earth
The camelia petals
Lie sweet in mourning.

Time like a blackbird
Sat on a bare branch and sang
Of life and sweet love.
