time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love
(all the merry little birds are
flying in the floating in the
very spirits singing in
are winging in the blossoming)
lovers go and lovers come
awandering awondering
but any two are perfectly
alone there's nobody else alive
(such a sky and such a sun
i never knew and neither did you
and everybody never breathed
quite so many kinds of yes)
not a tree can count his leaves
each herself by opening
but shining who by thousands mean
only one amazing thing
(secretly adoring shyly
tiny winging darting floating
merry in the blossoming
always joyful selves are singing)
sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love
― e. e. cummings
A pair of Victorian trade cards from circa 1890 with illustrations of spring flowers. The first shows a basket of winter-white snowdrops while the second image contains a basket of riotously blue forget-me-nots. Can be used for vintage-style greeting cards and gift tags or for decorating scrapbook pages and junk journals.
You can download the high-res 6.5" (w) x 4" (h) @ 300 ppi JPEGs without a watermark here (snowdrops) and here (forget-me-nots).
