• Flowers are lovely; love is flower-like; Friendship is a sheltering tree; Oh the joys that came down shower-like, Of friendship, love, and liberty, Ere I was old!

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Flowers are lovely; love is flower-like;
Friendship is a sheltering tree;
Oh the joys that came down shower-like,
Of friendship, love, and liberty,
Ere I was old!
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (2012). “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, p.73, Courier Corporation
