On a snowy day, so near to Spring
I did a very gardener thing

I went to where the flowers bloomed
Where air was warm and....ahhh...perfumed

It was a greenhouse that I know
Where shelves and racks of wonders grow

Ranunculus and chartreuse mums,
Campanulas, Cymbidiums

Heath and peachy Hellebore,
Pansies, pansies by the score

I touched them and I breathed them in
Each Primula and Cyclamen

A simple joy this gardener thing
To fill the soul with dreams of Spring
