Lemon Lullaby

I know a land where the lemon trees bloom, Where blossom exudes its delicate perfume. Hummingbirds and bees live in perfect harmony For nectar flows there abundantly. Come then, my dear child, come, let’s take our ease Under the shade of the lemon myrtle trees. Close weary eyes, let soothing, restful hours Lead to the land where the lemon blossom flowers. Hush, hear the songbirds’ dulcet melody; Singing God's praise in the lemon blossom tree. Breathe in the fragrance of its citrus bower, Dream of the land where the lemon trees flower. 16/7/2018 Pretty Poem Please Contest Sponsor Julia Ward

Thank you for the kind comment,Mark. It was one of the first I wrote and I've altered it slightly since then. Anything to do with lemon has my interest! The coordinates are located in your imagination and olfactory regions!

That's kind,Line. I thought this was such a delightful contest title - from a poem by Goethe I believe.
