Katharine Tynan - Flower O` The YearKatharine Tynan - Flower O` The Year
Work rating: Low


The laggard year is now at prime And primrose-time is daffodil-time;     Where do the boys delay? What tether     Hinders them from the heavenly weather, From violet-time and cowslip-time? Why do they keep the house so late? The sweet o` the year is at the gate,     And hear the cuckoo calling, saying:     Up, slug-a-bed! `Tis time for Maying! The cuckoo calling early and late. They have stolen away before the dawn, No print in the May-dew on the lawn     Betrays the way their light feet taking     Set not the quaking grass to shaking, Running so light-foot in the dawn. The primrose and the daffodil weather Is here, and cowslips troop together;     The lambs frolic in pastures gold,     But since they come not it is cold. Cold the primrose and daffodil weather.
