my favorite spring time ditty--learned as a pre-schooler
I have a little pussy,
Her coat is silver grey,
She lives out in the meadow,
She stays there all the day.
She'll always be a pussy,
She'll never be a cat-
She's a pussy willow,
Now what do you think of that!
my second favorite is the "round"
White coral bells upon a slender stalk
Lilys of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, how i wish, that i could hear them ring!
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
In my own garden-- I have some Puschkin squills and some crocus blooming...
Daffidils are sending up shoots..(as are many other plants--) for my birthday i can hope the fairies will sing-- and i will hear the little bells of my lily of the valley ring!
