Four Banners, Four Standards


    Four Flowers, Four Weathers


    Four Kings, Four Countries


    Four Winds, Four Directions


    Upon their fields of shade and light.


    Flowers, or birds appear to fly across


    my sight.


    Four there were,


    But I can only remember One.


    The First they called it,


    And also the most beautiful.


    A combination of soft reds, glacial turquoise,


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.Deep purple and delicate lavender


    That could stir the heart before the


    main feature had caught the eye.


    Two fluttering orchids as pink as cherry blossom,


    Seeming to fly across a pale lilac moon.


    A crest, an emblem,


    A banner, A Standard,


    Four there were,


    And I wish that I could remember


    the others,


    But I would not have any one of them replace


    the Orchids of the North.
