Lily of the Valley
by bentfeather



Tiny bell shaped
Lily of the Valley
grows many places.

Rocky soil
does not
foil her...
Negligence
does not
offend her...
Drought does
not send her into extinction...


Spring brings,
Lush green leaves
Tender stalks
Bud laden
Unrung White bells


Lily of the Valley
Reigns, regal, exalted
National flower of Finland.
