[The Jonquil]
Through its brown and withered bulb
How the white germ felt the sun
In the dark mould gently stirring
His Spring children one by one!
Thrilled with heat, it split the husk,
Shot a green blade up to light,
And unfurled its orange petals
Through its brown and withered bulb
How the white germ felt the sun
In the dark mould gently stirring
His Spring children one by one!
Thrilled with heat, it split the husk,
Shot a green blade up to light,
And unfurled its orange petals
