WISTARIA in full blossom,-pendent sprays
Of lilac shading almost into white,
And golden green of foliage soft and bright!
Well might one be content to Sit and gaze
For hours or, if ’twere possible, for days,
Soothed into one long revery by the sight
Of this idyllic beauty and delight,
This poem worthy of a critic s praise.
Too soon alas I the loveliness must fall:
The fairest blossom only blooms to fade;
And yet it shall not die without an heir.
See this long shoot that clambers up the wall,
Flowerless now. but it shall be arrayed
Another year ‘with beauty no less fair.
(Robert Henry Forster)
