An audio challenge--The Flowers.

Posted by Nadira on August 4, 2010

The Flowers-Robert Louis StevensonALL the names I know from nurse:Gardener’s garters, Shepherd’s purse,Bachelor’s buttons, Lady’s smock,And the Lady Hollyhock.Fairy places, fairy things,Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,Tiny trees for tiny dames—These must all be fairy names!Tiny woods below whose boughsShady fairies weave a house;Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme,Where the braver fairies climb!Fair are grown-up people’s trees,But the fairest woods are these;Where if I were not so tall,I should live for good and all.

Egor
;
Yes it is an old form of poetry by R.L Stevenson.
Reading it few times may make it understood .
The first stanza is about the names of different flowers.

The rest how it is in a world of dreams with fairies and all what is found in fairy land.
