Tis a flower
A dainty thing
Measuring life
By fleeting hour
With final bow
Its petals wilt
Its lustre fades
Lying fallow
Wintering snow
Pillows the land
Cold western wind
Through acres blow
Til once again
Bonny shoots peek
Through melting snow
And warm spring rain
To my delight
In abundance
Do they unfold
Burgeoning life
Oh! Sweeping fields!
Do greet mine eye
A vast array
As laughter peals
Across the cut
Lassies dancing!
Laddies prancing!
Mid the buttercup.
Stoney, February 26, 1997
There is still one teensy defect in this piece. Can you
spot it? I'll give you a hint - it's in the meter in the final
verse.

*s* You got me thinking there, so I checked both
lasses and lassies in the online Merriam-Webster
Dictionary and the two appear to be interchangeable.
But thanks for keeping me on my toes!
