Some say you rival not <br /> The lark and woodland thrush. <br /> The sky above is their lot <br /> High above the woods and brush -- <br /> You hug the earth and bless it with your purple blush. <br /> What delights the eye <br /> Can delight the ear, <br /> See the songs of the sky <br /> Melodies most dear, <br /> But hear the beauty of the earth in the colors of the year.<br /><br />Henry Kriescher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/asters-so-beautiful/
