Analysis of How are the flowers?
Sister in your elegance
Beside the drinking well
A bluentit drinks its fill
And wishes us fairwell
It's song around us echoes
As we speak of our to does
The flowers have not sprung
and all the toys have taken toll
as the trees grow oh so tall
And the dappled sun too small
