The forest reddens; it can't help but blush,  
a maiden shyly starting to undress,  
clothes falling on a carpet, soft and plush,  
her lips to form a bashful, breathless yes.

And soon it stands stark naked, who'd have thunk it,  
as northern winds extend their bearish hug,  
and cloak it in a sparkling white blanket,  
each cozy limb enshrouded, safe and snug,

to sleep until the sounds of warmer weather  
awaken it: a pastoral motif  
performed by preening lovebirds of a feather,  
embraced by budding branches as they leaf,

each sprout to dress its eager, willing bosom.  
It is among them that I found this blossom.
