Hail the Michaelmas daisy's <br />Softly glowing purple haze. <br />Lit by the sun's wistful gaze <br />Bringing cooler mellow days. <br /> <br />Festooned with spiders weaving. <br />Dripping with dew drops gleaming. <br />Through the misty morning light <br />Ghostly blooms loom into sight. <br /> <br />Our perennial swan song's <br />Been waiting all Summer long. <br />And now a flower fanfare <br />Heralding Autumnal air!<br /><br />Maureen Pickford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/michaelmas-daisy-days/
