the hidden flowers do not give forth a smell
but that means nothing as they're out of season
behind there's a small swamp and shallow well

but nothing signifies even the shallow marks
we're promised now swift ending to this pain
at last we can now say enthusiasm sparks
the signal the message the overwhelming trope
is that this week we've finally some hope
