In the first rare spring of song, In my heart's young hours, In my youth 't was thus I sang, Choosing 'mid the flowers: - "Fair the Dandelion is, But for me too lowly; And the winsome Violet Is, forsooth, too holy.

Then the Wild-Rose is a flirt; And the trillium Lily, In her spotless gown, 's a prude, Sanctified and silly.
