Gath'ring the crocuses
Above the Blue Irises
Yellow the sand which lies
Upon the seashore

About Gathering the crocuses
Stuart Moffatt's Gathering the crocuses paints an early spring scene. The text evokes the delicate act of gathering flowers above irises, with yellow sand and the constant roar of the sea forming the backdrop. This is a secular aria, sung by a solo voice. The imagery of earliest remembrances enhancing the new year suggests a reflective and hopeful mood, capturing a moment of natural beauty and personal introspection.
