Campus Nature Diary : Traveller's dower

Campus Nature Diary : Traveller's dower 

Pluck not the wayside flower, 

It is the traveller's dower; 

A thousand passers-by 

Its beauties may espy, 

May win a touch of blessing 

From Nature's mild caressing. 

The sad of heart perceives 

A violet under leaves 

Like sonic fresh-budding hope; 

The primrose on the slope 

A spot of sunshine dwells, 

And cheerful message tells 

Of kind renewing power; 

The nodding bluebell's dye 

Is drawn from happy sky. 

Then spare the wayside flower! 

It is the traveller's dower.

Wayside Flowers by William Allingham

A very happy new year 2015 to all ! Cheers and Enjoy :-)
