Transplanting Flowers

I’m looking for a better day
To set peonies and hollyhocks;
I want them planted before May.

And, still, late freezing to allay,
Although we've passed the equinox.
I’m hoping for a better day.

Excited visions on the way,
Of glorious flora among the rocks,
I want them planted before May.

Sunny spot in my yard seems okay.
Shade tree the other option blocks,
But I hope for a better day.

They’ll be well leafed out some spring day,
Unless Jack Frost, untimely, knocks;
I want them planted before May.

Some rosy red, some pale as whey,
My peonies and hollyhocks,
I want them planted before May,
But I’ll wait until a better day.
