A rare sight nowadays.

The Cowslip

 

Hark! The tiny cowslip bell,

In the breeze is ringing:

Birds in every woodland dell

Songs of joy are singing.

 

Winter is o'er

Spring once more spreads abroad her golden store.

 

Hark! The tiny cowslip bell

In the breeze is ringing.

 

Spring has come to make us glad,

Let us give her greeting.

 

Winter days were cold and sad,

Winter's reign is fleeting.

 

Hearts are gay,

Blythe as May;

Dance and sport the livelong day.

Spring has come to make us glad.

Let us give her greeting.

Must be a good year for cowslips, I've never seen as many here ether (County Durham) in 35 years. Have even seen a few in hedge backs of arable fields as well as usual place in pastures. Even found one growing on the lawn last weekend!
