After Louis MacNeice ‘ The Sunshine on the Garden’




After Louis MacNeice ‘ The Sunshine on the garden’ 

Anemones, ranunculus 

one small cyclamen low to the ground 

the remnants ragged of a Christmas rose 

three frail daffodils waving, tête à tête perhaps.  

All along the margin where the cypress dominates 

there’s a scattering of precious stones embellishing the hem

richest of robes, glinting in the sun.
