Thursday Tulips

Inspired! Not my garden, per se, but in our yard. :-)

She slept beneath a tree

Remembered but by me.

I touched her cradle mute;

She recognized the foot,

Put on her carmine suit,

And see!

-Emily Dickinson, "The Tulip."

Oh, tiptoe from the garden

By the garden of the willow tree

And tiptoe through the tulips with me.

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray

We'll keep the showers away

And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight

Will you pardon me?

And tiptoe through the tulips with me.

-Al Dubin

(Written as a song for a movie, then used by singer Tiny Tim).
