Clematis, blousy and purple,

or tiny and pink.

Growing up walls,

Along fences, up high.

Clematis, bell flowers,

Fuzzy seedheads,

Growing round trees

Up to the sky.

Clematis, spring and summer flowering

Now monumental,

Grown with great love.

Makes me sigh.

Clematis, old friend,

Newly open flowers,

Grow bud and petal,

You give me joy
