“In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;
In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
“What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is silenced,
The meetings adjourned… The lists laid aside, And the Wild Iris blooms
By itself In the dark forest… What still pulls on your soul?” — Rumi

Many, many welcomes,
February fair-maid,
Ever as of old time,
Solitary firstling,
Coming in the cold time,
Prophet of the gay time,
Prophet of the May time,
Prophet of the roses,
Many, many welcomes,
February fair-maid!
“Looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
An thinking of the days that are no more.

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…
I could walk through my garden forever.”
