BUTTONS by FREDERICK R. MCCREARY

First Line: HOLD FAST, GOLDEN BUTTONS
Last Line: IN A LUNATIC PATH OF LAUGHTER AND SINGING.
Subject(s): DANDELIONS; FLOWERS; WEEDS;
Hold fast, golden buttons --
You dandelions,
Hold fast!
For the lawns are mad with May-morning
And would soar with the high clouds

Hold fast, golden dollars,
Hold fast my thoughts!
Or one more bird song,
One more white petal,
And I'll lose myself
In a lunatic path of laughter and singing.
