THE FRANCE FLOWER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I stroll forth this flowery day
Last Line: The france flower, the flower of light!
Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John
Subject(s): Flowers


I STROLL forth this flowery day
Of "print-frocks" and buds of may,
And speedwells of tender blue
Whom no sky can match for hue.

I love well my English home;
Yet far thoughts do stealing come
To throng me like honey-bees,
Till far flowers my fancy sees --

'Tis almond against the snows,
And gentian, and mountain rose,
And Iris, in purple bright --
The France flower, the flower of light!
