The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy

Cool dewy morning, Blue sky at noon,

The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy – photo 1

White mist at eveining, And large yellow moon;

The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy – photo 2

Blackberries juicy For staining of lips;

The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy – photo 3

And scarlet, O scarlet The Wild Rose Hips!

The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy – photo 4

Gay as a gypsy All Autumn long,

The Song of the Rose Hip Fairy – photo 5

Here on the hedge-top This is my song.

The poem is by Cicely Mary Barker. The photos are mine.
While roses are spectacular during Summer, the star of Autumn just may be rose hips.
