The Flower
Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro‘ my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.
Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o’er the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow’d it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
‚Splendid is the flower! ‚
Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.
– Alfred Lord Tennyson
Especially in summer flower prints are a must have that needs to be present in every girl’s wardrobe as it basically represents the colourful season and just adds a carefree, joyful attitude to every basic outfit. Flower prints appear in every conceivable form, pattern and colour and in combination with floaty or silky fabrics like the blazer I’m wearing it is perfect for mild summer evenings and completes the black and white pattern of jeans and shirt by adding a bit of lively colours to the outfit.
