The Camellias Bloom In Winter Poem by Francis Duggan

When the windblown rain is drizzling from the sky
The Camellias bloom in Winter in July
In the front gardens of the coastal town
As the rain from the gray sky is drizzling down
So beautiful in their rose like pink flowers
They always bloom in the cold winter showers
Their prime of beauty does not have a long stay
Most things of life are quick to meet decay
In Winter such a marvelous sight to see
The pink flowers on the green camellia tree
Though their ancestry from Victoria far away
In bloom they beautify the gloomy winter day
The pink camellias bloom in gardens of the coastal town
In July as the winter rain is drizzling down.
