Flowers And The Grotto Poem by Tom Billsborough

Flowers And The Grotto



If one day you came to my grotto
Which, lately, I have enclosed,
I could show you a thousand lovers
Into flowers now metamorphosed.
They feed on the tears of Dawn
Oh God I should be such a flower,
If you came along some day
And watered me with your tears.

I might take you up on that. Now where did I put those onions? Tristan was born in 1601 and wrote plays as well as verse.
