FORGET-ME-NOTS

A song of forget-me-nots I sing!
Forget-me-nots are my favourite flowers,
Love, because they are like your eyes.
Blue as the wild blue butterflies.
They stare and dream through the singing hours,
Under the turquoise and silver skies,
Under the fickle skies of Spring.

They see the sky like a looking-glass
That waits for the beautiful face of Day,
For the face of the Dawn is cold.
