First Line: You lovely flower / exquisitely fair

Subject(s): Flowers; Perfume; Spring


You lovely flower
Exquisitely fair,
Your immaculate perfume
Is shed on the air;
Your waxen white blossoms
Greek goddesses have worn.
Our brides of the tropics
Their heads should adorn.

You are lovely, you're rare,
No others compare
With your garlands
Of star-clustered blossoms.
You'll return in the spring,
Fresh banners you'll bring
Little princess of tropical flowers.
