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 stemÂ
It holds its head so strong and straightÂ
Into the soil it sinks so deepÂ
There it stays til it’s time to reapÂ
The Tulips beauty is in its headÂ
Its colour varies from yellow to redÂ
Find a colour, find a roomÂ
Leave it there and it will bloomÂ
The Tulips warmth is in its petalsÂ
They overlap and keep so tightÂ
When it’s dark they close right upÂ
And open up when it is lightÂ
When uncut in fields of plentyÂ
Dancing to the winds own beatÂ
Watch them swaying in the breezeÂ
You’ll think this sight is such a treat.Â
