Found
By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)

I WANDERED lonely
Beneath the trees,
And sought for nothing,
But strolled at ease.

There in the shadows
A flower grew,
Like starlight beaming,
Like eyes so blue.

I sought to break it,
But heard it say:
“Shall I be broken
To fade away?”

I dug it out then
With roots and all,
And bore it home to
My garden small.

Again it’s planted
And finds repose;
And now as ever
It blooms and grows.

  5. Fantastic photos, the first one is amazing, love the feeling captured in it, a bit foreboding. Beautiful poem! I hope that you were able to get out and about today without the rain. Enjoy your evening!

    • Thanks Mia. I had a lovely day walking through a light misty fog with apricot and magnolia’s blooming. Rain droplets were left on the blooms and with no wind the lake was like a mirror. Inside the conservatory it was mostly just the blue morpho butterflies leaving their cocoons. Hope you had a wonderful day. 🙂
