Clad in all their brightest green, <br />This day verdant fields are seen; <br />The tuneful birds begin their lay, <br />To celebrate thy natal day. <br /> <br />The breeze is still, the sea is calm <br />And the whole scene combines to charm; <br />The flowers revive this charming May, <br />Because it is thy natal day. <br /> <br />The sky is blue, the day serene, <br />And only pleasure now is seen; <br />The rose, the pink, the tulip gay, <br />Combine to bless thy natal day.<br /><br />Felicia Dorothea Hemans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-my-mother-s-birthday/
