HOLIDAYS by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: OF ALL, THE FLOWERS LOVE A HOLIDAY
Last Line: LOVE THE DAYS WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; HOLIDAYS; PLAY; SUMMER; VACATION; CHILDHOOD;

OF all, the flowers love a holiday,
For then the children come to play,
In the meadow where they stay.

Other days the walled-up school,
Keeps them in to learn the rule,
Far away from flower and pool.

And the flowers all about
Love the sound of laugh and shout—
Love the days when school is out.
