THE WOOD OF FLOWERS by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: I WENT TO THE WOOD OF FLOWERS
Last Line: IN THE WOOD OF FLOWERS!
Subject(s): FORESTS; WOODS;

I went to the Wood of Flowers,
No one went with me;
I was there alone for hours;
I was happy as could be,
In the Wood of Flowers!

There was grass
On the ground;
There were leaves
On the tree;

And the wind
Had a sound
Of such sheer
Gaiety,

That I
Was as happy,
As happy could be,
In the Wood of Flowers!
