I copied down a poem years ago and didn't put the poet's name. Does anyone know who wrote it? It goes:
A thousand pities should March pass
Without you seeing fresh green grass,
Or ( far too busy all day long)
You never hear the skylark's song,
Or know some magic moment spent,
Amid a garden's springtime scent.

I caught the maiden Spring...quite unaware,
I saw the limbs of beauty she possessed
And then, as if embarrassed by my stare,
She trembled for a while...
.....and then, she dressed.

The other night I had a dream,
T'was one I can't ignore,
I stood - a prisoner, in a field
I'd never seen before.

The other fields were filled with blooms,
Their fragrance filled the air'
it isn't right, I grumbled -
That mine should be so bare

I plodded grimly up and down,
Bewailing loud my fate
Till broken petals on the ground
Cried out - too late - too late

I'd been so busy envying
Those other fields so sweet,
My foolish eyes had failed to see
The blossoms at my feet.

Thanks mamyalynne. I've just emailed the guy and asked if he knows the origin. Fingers crossed.

No Ian doesn't know either. So any more help much appreciated.
Strange he has lifted a stanza and knows nothing more? Will keep looking.
