Lily Of The Valley Poem by Susy Evelyne

Lily Of The Valley



Three times within a single day
Straying out of your usual way
To pass lily of the valley
En masse in a garden's gulley -
Might seem to be a curious folly;
A sign perhaps of one obsessed.
But that small detour will be blessed
With the fragrance of May, second to none,
Rising from grey shower-splashed stones
Where sprays of ivory 'clochette' bells
Cast on the air their intoxicating spell.

Brilliantly written, I love the phrase 'grey shower-splashed stones'

A host of lilies like Wordsworth's Daffodils continue to entice us and no wonder if someone takes a stroll to the Garden's gully many times a day to feast on that sight....! Beautiful poem! !

A lovely poem. I like Lily of the Valley flowers too. I've also learned a new word: clochette - neat.
