As I read the words, I hear the melody to the song
Mom used to sing this, apparently it was in vogue when she was a little girl, which would have been in the early 1900s. Idyllic romance...

Now I'll be singing that for the rest of the night.  It is so pretty.
Thank for sharing it.

I like Ben Johnson's poetry too! This is so thoughtful on two counts my Bro! Shelly

This one of his inspired my poem of an hourglass:

THE HOUR-GLASS.
         by Ben Jonson

Consider this small dust, here in the glass,
            By atoms moved :
Could you believe that this the body was
            Of one that loved ;
And in his mistress' flame playing like a fly,
Was turned to cinders by her eye :
Yes ; and in death, as life unblest,
            To have't exprest,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.

Very nice, Naut...
...the poem and the mention. I've heard of Ben Jonson, but, forgot that he lived so long ago. I really liked it...I wish I had that effect on flowers. lol
