Garden Nymph

behold! the dense fog rises

delight in natures prizes

dance in brilliant yellow

rays of early dawn

see the white feathers of the swan

oh, slender garden nymph

nestled there in soft purple petals

listen to elves play their fiddles

arise! glide along

moist leaves of ferns

watch how spring returns

discover blooming seeds

as hummingbirds feed

kiss the flowering pink perennials

play along the

glimmering stream that trails

watch the water quench the soils thirst

along the rays of sunburst

oh tiny garden nymph

nibble on sweet green stems

as red strawberries

dangle like precious gems

oh, my garden nymph

so delicate and small

who sleeps through fall

you’re the keeper of my garden

my little garden nymph
