O' Clematis Poem by Richard McClellan

O' my sweet clematis,
so pretty hanging near me,
you look so parched,
its my water you seek,

O' my sweet clematis,
beautiful purple petals,
so fragrant to me,
in a vine, beauty hanging to peek.

O' my sweet clematis,
your bloom so short,
I want your blooms,
to never stop.

O' my sweet clematis,
pretty flower so neat,
don't stop your blooming,
when i take up your seat,

Flower of the orient,
you bring joy to my day,
when autumn whither your flowers away,
Come back to me in spring.
