Some more pretty tulips! In full bloom.
And for all the tulip pictures I’ve been posting, I thought I’d share a little poem to accompany them. This one is titled The Tulip by Thomas B. Davies:
The Tulip’s strength is in its stem
It holds its head so strong and straight
Into the soil it sinks so deep
There it stays til it’s time to reap
The Tulips beauty is in its head
Its colour varies from yellow to red
Find a colour, find a room
Leave it there and it will bloom
The Tulips warmth is in its petals
They overlap and keep so tight
When it’s dark they close right up
And open up when it is light
When uncut in fields of plenty
Dancing to the winds own beat
Watch them swaying in the breeze
You’ll think this sight is such a treat.
