…after the painting by Guilda Dimi by Sharmagne Leland-St.John Ranunculus, your favourite flower Planted 'neath the garden bower French roses are their other name Some have said they look the same. Yellow roses brighten the day And augur fortune on its way I sought them where the bramble rose And creamy-pale hortensia grows When trimmed and cut, petals opened up Hence we placed them in the bowl and cup The perfumed scent of these blooms Wafted through the parlour rooms The red and pink and purple hues Summoned forth the poet's muse.
