The violets are ultra-shy,
The willow weeps by day.
Brownies search for four leaf clovers,
Dandelions won't go away.

Young red dragon hides in a rose bush,
He loves their thorny smell,
He spies an elf with a red-bud wreath,
Laughs loud and wishes him well.

Sun-flowers rise to dizzying heights,
The rye-grass tower to their own degree,
The kelpies comb their seaweed hair,
And anemones walk in the sea.

Black-eyed Susans fight among themselves,
Wild ivy climbs to the sky,
Snap dragons lurk by shadowy paths,
To pounce on passerby.

The honeysuckle calls out to the bees,
The dogwood has a quiet bark,
While poison oak waits all hours to strike,
All good flowers sleep in the dark.
