Linda Ori - ~ DAFFODIL ~

Across the rolling springtime hill
In grande array the sunshine spill
Of golden heads address the sky
With floral perfume rising high;

I gaze across the fields in bloom
How sweetly they erase the gloom
Of winter frost now losing ground
Their golden carpet all around;

And with each fragrant breath I take
Sweet memories flow in the wake
Of long lost love in younger days
A haunting melody still plays

Reminding me of days gone by
When love was bold and so was I
When passion burned within my heart
Although I knew one day we'd part;

Yet still each spring I rise anew
From winter's sleep in time to view
The rolling hills in golden bloom
Sweet inspiration fills my plume

For I have much that's left unsaid
And much to write before I'm dead
Forever shall my thoughts still sing
As lovely as the golden spring.
