First Line: The flowers take her for an april day
Last Line: "my heart and all the flowers sigh, ""alas!"
Subject(s): Flowers


THE flowers take her for an April day,
She is so fair, and all her hair is gold.
The shy blue violets, when they see her, say,
"Her eyes are, like our sisters, grown bold."
The roses know she is more fair than they.

I watch her fleeting through the cool green grass
One moment, as a Summer breeze might fleet.
My heart and all the flowers watch her pass,
And when we cannot hear her little feet,
My heart and all the flowers sigh, "Alas!"
