"Come down to Kew" |
that pleasant rhyme,
"Come down to Kew in Lilac-time;"
I often feel it isn't fair
To other flowers growing there
So I intend to write a rhyme,
"Come down to Kew at any time".
Come down to Kew, I mean to say,
When Bluebells paint woods of May;
Come down to Kew, shall be my tune,
When Roses, rioting in June,
Usher the summer pageant in
Until the Autumn days begin.
Come down to Kew; though days are cold,
The leaves are yellow, brown and gold.
Come down to Kew, I mean to write,
And see the Winter Aconite;
It's little ruff is wet with rime-
Come down to Kew at any time.
