WILD FLOWERS, by                    
First Line: Over the fields gay with violets, tulips and fern
Last Line: Knowing that life will be short, but if merry -- amen!
Subject(s): Fields; Flowers; Pastures; Meadows; Leas


Over the fields gay with violets, tulips and fern,
Faint susurrations are fluttering
Caused by no blowing of breezes we can discern.

These are the whispered ambitions; the flowers aspire
Soon to be brightly be-cluttering
Florists' displays, and though they will shortly expire,

Boastingly tell of the smartly dressed patrons who'll wear
Them in their gorgeous corsages,
Doing the swank boulevards and cafes, with an air!

Eager they are to give up the wide fields and the glen,
Filled with their dreams and mirages,
Knowing that life will be short, but if merry -- amen!
