Magnolias

A thing of such great beauty a lovely thing to see The purple flowers that in Spring bloom on the magnolia tree A memory to live on when other memories fade Only by Mother Nature such beauty can be made And Nature's natural beauty is for all to be admired And by Nature and her beauty poets and artists are inspired To create their own beauty for others to enjoy And the poet and the artist is in every girl and boy But only Mother Nature could have in her the power To create a thing of beauty such as a purple magnolia flower In all my days and many walks such beauty i have seen Like the bluebells by my old home blooming by the pebbly bohreen But nothing quite so beautiful or so 'twould seem to me As the purple flowers in Springtime on the green magnolia tree.
