I had to learn the Wordsworth poem myself at school for a public speaking exam and can still recite most of it now!<br />I couldn't choose between primroses, crocuses and hellebores for a favourite spring flower.

How eloquent are your daffodil pictures and in true Wordsworth style I have felt quite nostalgic for the beauty that is England; you've portrayed that so well.<br /><br />I love early spring flowers. There is a little garden at a crossroad just outside our village which used to belong to an elderly gentleman but is not being tended by his middle-aged daughter. I always love looking at it every day as there are so many wild spring flowers growing there - primroses, violets (my favourites), periwinkles, cowslips too - mixed in with daffodils and tulips. They all make me so happy and they are all so ephemeral.<br /><br />I cannot call to mind a poem from my schooldays just now but the Bayeux Tapestry was a leitmotif to my primary days :-)millefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-89391142127856025112014-03-18T21:08:50.245+00:002014-03-18T21:08:50.245+00:00My favourite Spring flower are Tulips.

They must be the universal greeting party to Spring! From my window here in the Southeastern part of America, I see a lovely gathering of Daffs along the creek bank, and more along my garden edges. I only remember a few poems from my childhood," Who has seen the Wind", "The Raven" and a silly poem that went like this.."yesterday upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, Oh how I wish he'd go away!." Not exactly as moving as your favorite poem.!My favorite Spring flower is a Virginia Bluebell.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-19651997169962407632014-03-18T12:43:49.152+00:002014-03-18T12:43:49.152+00:00One of my most favourite poems! xxOne of my most favourite poems! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-6495939868415596842014-03-18T12:40:19.895+00:002014-03-18T12:40:19.895+00:00Good Morning Sarah, What a beautiful site and a wo...Good Morning Sarah, What a beautiful site and a wonderful fond memory of childhood. Spring brings new hope and dreams for us gardeners. Such a lovely place you live. For Spring, it would be roses, because here where I live they they are almost the first to bloom in my garden, followed up with larkspurs, daffodils, poppies and paper whites. What a gorgeous painting too.

Daffs have to be my favourite Spring flower (always remind me of Wales). Now your mention of poems got me thinking. I learned 'When you are old and grey' WB Yeats when I was about 9 or 10. I thought it was the most beautiful poem, capturing the essence of everlasting true love, though with a certain melancholy. I've never forgotten the words.

I was so impressed! While at the moment I can not recall any poems I learned a a child, I am impressed with the wonderful poem you memorized and the beautiful post you created, Sarah.
