HOLLYHOCK TIME, by                    
First Line: The bees are droning all the day
Last Line: "tis hollyhock time in iowa."
Subject(s): Hollyhocks; Iowa


The bees are droning all the day,
The birds are singing loud and gay,
"'Tis hollyhock time in Iowa."
Beside each walk and garden wall
They stand like sentinels straight and tall,
And in each nook, and by the winding road
They bend in beauty beneath their load.
And as we pass they nod and say,
"Have faith in God, be kind today;
'Tis hollyhock time in Iowa."
