In the garden
Language: English
The white rose nods to the musk-rose, And the musk-rose nods to the white, But I am friends with ev'ry flower, And I nod to them left and right. Oh, tall is the tiger-lily, And stately the hollyhock, But I love best the dear little daisy In her simple work-a-day frock. Hallo! 'Red Admiral' there sir, You are early out to-day! And I am too, so beware, sir, For this is a holiday!
