GRANDFATHER Dandelion had such pretty hair,
Along came a gust of wind and left his head quite bare;
Young Dandelion generously offered hint some gold,
To buy a cap to keep his dear old head from being cold.
WIND-FLOWER on an April day,
Came along and said she’d stay;
Wore her furs snug as you please,
Said she liked the nice, cool breeze.
ANEMONES and Bluets grew,
All the woodland pathway through;
Came along one day together,
Didn’t mind the April weather.
LILAC wears a purple plume,
Scented with a sweet perfume;
Very high-born lady she,
Quite proud of her family tree.
TRILLIUM said “Why, deary me,
I’m just as freckled as can be,”
Her cousin Tiger-Lily said,
“Well, look at me, I’m almost red.”
PANSIES like the shaded places;
With their little friendly faces,
Always seem to smile and say:
“How are all the folks to-day?”
JOHNNIE-JUMP-UP made a bet,
That he could pass for Violet.
What spoiled the little rascal’s game?
The scent he used was not the same.
LADY’S-SLIPPER in the wood,
Said she really wished she could
Have a pretty dress and go
With sister to the flower show.
MODEST little Violet
Was her loving Mother’s pet;
Did n’t care to go and play,
Rather stay at home all day.
COWSLIP dearly loves to romp
Around the bottom of the swamp;
She comes along in early spring,
Before the grass, or anything.
FRAGRANT little Mignonette,
In a shower got quite wet;
Laughed and said she did n’t care—
It looked like jewels in her hair.
APPLE BLOSSOM is a fairy,
Swinging in a tree so airy;
By and by the little sprite
Sprinkles the ground with pink and white.
