The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker

The Periwinkle Fairy

 

In shady shrubby places,
Right early in the year,
I lift my flowers' faces --
O come and find them here!
My stems are thin and straying,
With leaves of glossy sheen,
The bare brown earth arraying,
For they are ever-green.
No great nenown have I, Yet who
does not love Periwinkle's blue?
