HOLLYHOCK LADIES by MARY FRANCES MARTIN

First Line: HOLLYHOCK LADIES-CURTSYING, SWAYING
Last Line: HOLLYHOCK LADIES—TIP-TOEING SPRIGHTLY.
Subject(s): HOLLYHOCKS;

Hollyhock ladies—curtsying, swaying,
To the slow measure zephyr is playing.
Amber-hued fichues, mantles of red,
Green-winged caps for each dainty head.
Pink tinted petticoats fluttering lightly,
Hollyhock ladies—tip-toeing sprightly.
