One hundred Tulips
On an April day
Red, yellow and orange
Oh! what an array.

They raise there
Swaying joyful heads
To the blazing sun
In the flower beds.

So much pleasure
They bring to me
That I sit and write a
Few words you see.

Taking in the Spring
Amongst so many flowers
A perfusion of color
To while away the hours.
