The pink hyacinth

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

23rd December 1967

Of life and sweet love

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.
