Hear the buzz of the bees? <br />See the blooming of the trees? <br />Hear the birds as they sing... <br />Wake up! Wake up! Sleepy heads <br />'Tis Spring, 'Tis Spring! <br />Time to rise from your quiet beds... <br />Up pops a worm, a crocus or two, <br />Soon will come tulips and irises new. <br />Come pretty pansies, time to show <br />Your beautiful faces from under the snow... <br />Time for Lady Slippers and Baby's breath <br />So dainty and sweet <br />Time for Autumn Joy, who's colors repeat. <br />Time for Carnations with deep purple traces <br />Time for beautiful, stately Queen Anne's Laces. <br />Time for the uncurling of Hostas <br />With her varied leaves so bright... <br />Time for Evening Primrose to light up the night. <br />Come now, come now...let us put on a show, <br />Before you know it, we'll be covered with snow. <br />Let's put on a parade for all around to see, <br />Put on your best smiles and we'll fill <br />Everyone's heart with glee! <br />Stand tall blue head Veronica and Miss Bradshaw too <br />Come, come Shasta Dasies, they'll be looking for you. <br />Snap Dragons, turn this way... <br />Oh, you beautiful Zinas', you complete the day. <br />Roses, your bushes are budding, <br />Your fragrance will soon be flooding the air <br />In aromas so sweet... <br />And I'll plant moss roses to dance at your feet.<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-garden-s-poem-for-spring/
