from the album, Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks, 1980

red books hiding in a hand painted pot
old lanterns resting in a crumbling bird bath
pink columbine shaking in a summer storm
Dreams in the Night
Lyrics from the song Delta Dawn
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on,
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
from the song Delta Dawn, written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey, 1971
