She. THE dandelions in the grass
Are blown to fairies' clocks;
On this green bank I pluckt (Alas)
The last of lady-smocks.
He. Let them die,
What care I?
Roses come when field flowers pass.
She. But these sun-sated sultry hours
Will make your roses fall:
Their large wide-open crimson flowers
Must die like daisies small.
He. Sweet as yet!
I'll forget
(When they die) they lived at all!
