                                                Gathering Rosebuds
 
 
                                    once
                                    i gathered flowers in this meadow
                                    (pink hollyhock white stocks and larkspur blue)
                                    and made a petal bed of many colours
                                    (warm marigolds red poppies hen and chicks)
                                    and lay beside you eager in my shyness
                                    (delphiniums and phylox a daisy crown)
 
                                    now
                                    you gather flowers in this meadow
                                    without me (yellow Canterbury bells)
                                    another lover shares your petal mattress
                                    (violets gerbera  and bleeding heart)
                                    you leave behind a bed of different flowers
                                    (dried roses withered leaves a crown of thorns)
