Smiles up at you as you pass;

Cowslip dearly loves to romp

Bachelor’s Button, oh, most shocking!

Around the bottom of the swamp;

Found a hole in his silk stocking;

She comes along in early spring

But he mended it so neatly,

Before the grass, or anything.

Covered up the place completely.

Bleeding-Heart, against the wall,

Madame Dahlia, like her name,

Told her woes to one and all.

Is a very stately dame;

Live-Forever said, “Forget it;

Her family is so polite,

Life treats you the way you let it.”

It is a joy to meet them, quite.

On the border of the wood,

Goldenrod, the lucky chappy,

All alone the Ghost-Flower stood,

Grew up strong and tall and happy.

Like a moonbeam dressed in white --

Slept outdoors, if you’ll remember,

Such a very pretty sight.

All those cold nights in September.

Lily-of-the-Valley said

Wild Rose runs round everywhere;

She guessed she was a sleepy-head;

Likes to breathe the nice fresh air;

But she got up and dressed for town

Even her high-bred connection

In her new green tailored gown.

Cannot match her pink complexion.

Crimson Rambler one day said

Now let the banners be unfurled

He didn’t like the old homestead;

To greet the fairest of the world;

Thought he’d travel, so he went

Come Roses all, and pay your duty;

Over the wall on mischief bent.

Madame the Queen, American Beauty!

Nasturtium grew so big and tall,

Snapdragon is so very bold,

He climbed up on the garden wall;

He plays his tricks on young and old;

His little sister couldn’t go --

Hides behind the old stone wall

Dear child, she never seemed to grow.

And shoots his pop-gun at us all.
