To a roadside flower

Light EDM/Dance fusion with airy synth arpeggios, soft sidechained pads, and a warm, steady 4/4 beat around 118 BPM, Gentle house-style kick and hi-hat groove, layered with shimmering ambient textures, Acoustic elements blended in: nylon-string guitar plucks and subtle hand percussion, Occasional vocal chops sampled from the dialect lyrics for rhythmic texture, Lead vocal: soft male voice with clear phrasing, slightly wistful, delivered in original Yorkshire dialect for authenticity, Atmosphere uplifting yet tender, evoking wildflowers by the roadside and the fleeting beauty of nature, Mood: hopeful, dreamy, quietly euphoric

Text by John Hartley (1839–1915), from *Yorkshire Lyrics* (published by W. Nicholson & Sons, Wakefield, late 19th c.). Poem: "To a Roadside Flower" (in West Riding Yorkshire dialect). --- [Intro – Instrumental] [Verse 1] Tha bonny little pooasy! aw'm inclined To tak thee wi' me But yet aw think if tha could spaik thi mind, Tha'd ne'er forgie me; For i' mi jacket button-noil tha'd quickly dee, An life is short enuff, booath for mi-sen an thee. [Verse 2] Here, if aw leeav thee bi th' rooadside to flourish, Whear scoors may pass thee; Some heart 'at has few other joys to cherish May stop an bless thee: Then bloom, mi little pooasy! Tha'rt a beauty! Sent here to bless: Smile on—tha does thi duty. [Verse 3] Aw wod'nt rob another of a joy Sich as tha's gien me; For aw felt varry sad, mi little doy Until aw'd seen thee. An may each passin, careworn, lowly brother, Feel cheered like me, an leeav thee for another. [Instrumental Break] [Outro – Spoken Word, soft with reverb] To a roadside flower... tha does thi duty.
