Trees

Spring’s Herald:

Shadbush blooms in early spring,
With flowers white, a pure, bright ring.
In forests where the shadows play,
You bring a touch of light to day.
With every bloom, a promise made,
Of warmer days and summer's shade.
A tree that heralds spring's embrace,
Shadbush blooms with gentle grace.

Trees

Forest Star:

Shadbush in the woodland's care,
Your blossoms light the morning air.
With petals white and leaves so green,
You add a charm to nature's scene.
In groves where quiet shadows lie,
You lift your branches to the sky.
A star within the forest's heart,
Shadbush plays its lovely part.

Trees

Springtime’s Bloom:

Shadbush with your flowers bright,
You bring a joy to spring's first light.
In every grove and forest glen,
You mark the season's start again.
With leaves that whisper in the breeze,
You bring a peace among the trees.
A tree of beauty, pure and true,
Shadbush blooms in morning dew.

Shadbush's Song

A shadbush so bright,
Loved to laugh day and night.
"Why do my berries shine?
To make the forest divine!"
The critters giggled, the birds did cheer,
At the shadbush's fun so dear.
With each bloom, joy would grow,
In the shadbush's show.

Trees

Shadbush's Shine

A shadbush loved to play,
In the forest every day.
"Why do my leaves dance?
To join the forest's trance!"
The flowers laughed, the leaves swayed,
In the shadbush's lively parade.
With each note, joy would spread,
In the forest's bed.

Trees

Spring’s Herald

By rivers where the shadbush blooms,
Their white flowers lift spring's gloom,
Shadbush whispers, in nature's room.
Petals light as morning mist,
In spring's soft light, they coexist,
Shadbush blooms, a florist's list.
Leaves that greet the new year's dawn,
Singing of the winter gone,
Shadbush heralds, with each yawn.
In woodlands where the streams flow free,
Shadbush blooms in quiet spree,
Nature's signal, spring's decree.

Trees

Bloom of Spring:

Shadbush in the forest's shade,
With blooms of white, it stands arrayed.
In early spring, it bursts to life,
A herald of the season's strife.

With berries red and leaves so fine,

It graces woods with pure design.
The shadbush, with its charm so rare,
A symbol of the springtime's care.

Trees

Woodland’s Herald:

Shadbush blooms in forest deep,
It wakes the woods from winter's sleep.
With petals bright and berries red,
It spreads a cheer where shadows tread.

Trees

In every glade, in every wood,

The shadbush stands where spring has stood.
A tree of bloom, of life's own cheer,
A herald of the new year near.
