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,

  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.
