Cunning little Blue-Eyed Grass Smiles up at you as you pass;
Looks as if a bit of sky Had fallen down from way up high.
Trang 4Bachelor’s Button, oh, most shocking! Found a hole in his silk stocking;
But he mended it so neatly, Covered up the place completely.
Cowslip dearly loves to romp
Around the bottom of the swamp;
She comes along in early spring
Before the grass, or anything.
Trang 58 7
Madame Dahlia, like her name,
Is a very stately dame;
Her family is so polite,
It is a joy to meet them, quite.
Bleeding-Heart, against the wall,
Told her woes to one and all.
Live-Forever said, “Forget it;
Life treats you the way you let it.”
Trang 6Goldenrod, the lucky chappy, Grew up strong and tall and happy Slept outdoors, if you’ll remember, All those cold nights in September.
On the border of the wood,
All alone the Ghost-Flower stood,
Like a moonbeam dressed in white
Such a very pretty sight.
Trang 7Wild Rose runs round everywhere; Likes to breathe the nice fresh air; Even her high-bred connection Cannot match her pink complexion.
Lily-of-the-Valley said
She guessed she was a sleepy-head;
But she got up and dressed for town
In her new green tailored gown.

Trang 8Now let the banners be unfurled
To greet the fairest of the world;
Come Roses all, and pay your duty; Madame the Queen, American Beauty!
Crimson Rambler one day said
He didn’t like the old homestead;
Thought he’d travel, so he went
Over the wall on mischief bent.
Trang 9Snapdragon is so very bold,
He plays his tricks on young and old; Hides behind the old stone wall
And shoots his pop-gun at us all.
Nasturtium grew so big and tall,
He climbed up on the garden wall;
His little sister couldn’t go
Dear child, she never seemed to grow.
