Spirea at Kettleby Church...

      Christ Church Kettleby
   1891


              Of all the subtle fires of earth
              Which rise in form of spring-time flowers,
              Oh, say if aught of purer birth
              Is nursed by suns and showers
              Than this fair plant, whose stems are bowed
              In such lithe curves of maiden grace,
              Veiled in white blossoms like a cloud
              Of daintiest bridal lace?
From "The Spirea" ~ by Paul Hamilton Hayne
