My ...I am looking for the poem "Tulips." My mother Martha Moore set it to music in the late 1920's. Evidently some water was spilled on the score, and I can't make out several of the words. I would REALLY appreciate some help. What I have been able to decipher is:<br /><br />Tulips in my window for all the world to see.<br />Red and yellow tulips ______ __ _______ __ __.<br /><br />I would believe in any folk, whatever their neighbor said. With Tulips in the window and a little garden bed.<br /><br />I would marry any man and serve him with a will<br />Who living all alone should plant Tulips on his sill.<br /><br />I would love to be able to sing Mother's song - but I need help filling in the blanks!jcdebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386029912250120831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-28302830932332180442011-01-25T16:31:24.881-08:002011-01-25T16:31:24.881-08:00Glad to find your blog.

I don't have a title, just the recollection of a friend, who thinks the poem appeared in Farm Journal in the 1940's. She has most of what was printed memorized; yet, we don't know if the poem appeared in its entirety or not. <BR/><BR/>First printed line is: "Sometimes I come awake at night." <BR/><BR/>Can somebody supply the title and/or entire poem?<BR/><BR/>Jan in Iowajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01952418624879754160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-28574325913563588402008-05-09T01:59:00.000-07:002008-05-09T01:59:00.000-07:00Doesn't he just have the most fantastic accent?

He sounds very much like my cousins from Burnley...except I've never heard 'ewes' pronounced 'ows'. Do you think his interviewer understood a word he was saying? I had to giggle at the 'hmmm' every so often you can almost hear him mentally saying "what?? eh? what? speak English boy! :)<BR/><BR/>Great stuff...couldn't you just have a career doing things like that? These people are a dying breed, we're all being Americanised by TV (not that there's anything wrong with being american it's just a shame culturally).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-52742897724210932052008-05-08T08:15:00.000-07:002008-05-08T08:15:00.000-07:00Hi LinnetThat is a cool site!
