第一首:
The sun laid eyes on you in spring
Washed you with its colour to shine bright
The wind then whispers in your ear
And prepared you for a magical flight
That’s why you glow and shine
And are first but never late
As you swiftly fly in the wind
Searching for your future and fate
第二首:
Little bud Dandelion
Hears from her nest
“Merry heart, starry eye
Wake from your rest!”
Wide ope the emerald lids
Robin’s above
Wise little Dandelion
Smiles at his love.
Cold lie the daisy-banks
Clad but in green
Where in the Mays agone
Bright hues were seen.
Wild pinks are slumbering
Violets delay–
True little Dandelion
Greeteth the May.
Meek little Dandelion
Groweth more fair
Till dries the amber dew
Out from her hair.
High rides the thirsty sun
Fiercely and high,–
Faint little Dandelion
Closeth her eye.
Dead little Dandelion
In her white shroud
Heareth the angel-breeze
Call from the cloud.
Tiny plumes fluttering
Make no delay
Little winged Dandelion
Soareth away.
