The Zankiwank
She’d be the darling of my heart,
But she has grown so silly!
There is no wild flower in the land
That’s half so tame as Daisy;
To her I’d give my heart and hand,
But fear I’d drive her crazy!

Also the China Aster;
But Buttercup with yellow nose
Would cause jealous disaster.
Forget-me-not, O Violet dear!
Primrose, you know my passion!
For all the plants afar—anear
I court in flowery fashion!
