The air was cool on Lily Pools
Hazy,
lazy,
and here and there
He'd stop to stare, admiring all the flowers
Wandering round for hours The sun was warm across the lawns
Scented,
blended,
he saw her linger And with her finger opened up the rose
Standing on tiptoes
Suddenly the rain came flurrying Sending the two of them hurrying
Skelter,
skelter for the shelter And feeling bolder in the big pagoda
He gently inquired her name
And they waited till the sunshine came
And for a while the griffin smiled Kindly,
blindly,
till the evening bell
Broke the spell and sadly they said goodbye
And one of the griffins cried in Kew Gardens
