ABC Wednesday
Ostrich Fern
Matteuccia struthiopteris
Ode to the Ostrich Fern
How stately does the Ostrich Fern
Rise above the bower
Unfurling greenness in the glade,
Besides her last-year's flower.
Exuding elegance she does rise -
And above all else she towers,
I'd love to join her in the shade,
and while away the hour.
