LINES
Just look what I have got,
And they are all for you,
I gathered them this morning,
And they're dripping yet with dew.

I gathered them from the woods,
And hedges and meadows too,
I have daises, buttercups, trailing arbutus
And also violets blue.

I found a little wild rose bush,
And lifted and brought it home,
It is full of buds and when it has flowers,
Why, then, I will bring you some.

To-morrow morning early,
I'll bring you more flowers like these,
And I'll bring you a basket of the soft green moss,
That cushions the roots of the trees.
[Aged 12 years.]
