The Bee Orchid ...

Look said Penelope - there's a bee orchid -

We stood by the side of the narrow road, not far from Ower Bay - 

I gazed at the orchid, keeping very still - 

The strange beauty of the flower unnerved me - 

I wanted to touch its velvet lips - 

Such a flower might climb a scarlet stair - 

It would sing to me with its golden voice -
