The Calendar by Barbara-Euphan-Todd

I think there are many phrases within this that might inspire you...

The Calendar

I knew when Spring was come –

Mot by the murmurous hum

Of bees in the willow-trees,

Or frills

Of daffodils.

Or the scent of the breeze;

But because there were whips and tops

By the jars of lollipops

In the two little village shops.

I knew when Summer breathed –

Not by flowers that wreathed

The sedge by the water’s edge,

Or gold

Of the Wold,

Or white and rose of the hedge;

But because in a wooden box

In the window at Mr’s Mack’s

There were white-winged shuttlecocks.

I knew when Autumn came –

Not by the crimson flame

Of leaves that lapped the eaves

Or mist

In amethyst

And opal tinted weaves;

But because there were alley-taws

(Punctual as hips and haws)

On the counter at Mrs. Shaw’s.

I knew when Winter swirled –

Not by the whitened world,

Or silver skeins in the lanes

Or frost

That embossed

In patterns on window-panes;

But because there were transfer sheets

By the bottles of spice and sweets

In the shops in two little streets.

I was inspired by

I knew when Autumn came –

Not by the crimson flame

Of leaves that lapped the eaves

and made an autumnal card.

As a background I used a paper from my stash from BeeArty. The sentiment also came from here.

The added leaves and stem are from The Dusty Attic - I added Distress Ink to these to add colour.
