I Doodled Up A Little Easter Picture This Afternoon. I Thought Of All The Spring Flowers I Am So Fond

I doodled up a little Easter picture this afternoon. I thought of all the spring flowers I am so fond of, Colt's Foot was pretty Easter-appropriate.

I remember a poem about it that was on the wall of my English classroom. It just said

'I love Coltsfoot that they

Make their appearance into life among dead grass;

Larches, that they

Die colourfully among sombre immortals.'

It is probably the only poem I remember from my entire A Level, and it wasn't even on the curriculum, it was just stuck on the wall. Google informs me it's by David Constantine, whose name does not ring a bell at all.
