Willamette Valley Natives

“Blue-eyed grass in the meadow,
And yaroow blooms on the hill,
Cat-tails that rustle and whisper,
And winds that are never still;

Blue-eyed grass in the meadow,
A linnet’s nest nearby,
Blackbirds caroling clearly
Somewhere between earth and sky.

Blue-eyed grass in the meadow,
And the laden bee’s low hum,
Milkweeds all by the roadside,
To tell us summer is come.”
