Spring-Bringers
When the daffodils go over
Then the Spring is on the way !
And though it’s sad to see the yellows wilt,
At least they had their day.
Once the clover is in clover,
Then the bulbs are all long done –
But Springtime has been built upon
Their early yellow sun.
When the bluebells have stopped ringing,
Then the Spring is truly here
And though it’s sad to see the mauve-lings fade,
At last they gave good cheer.
Once the tulips have stopped singing,
Then the bulbs have done their work –
And it’s time to let the first watch fade
And once more softly lurk.
