PRAIRIE FLOWERS

For the Sunday Light:
Prairie blossoms, sweetest flowers,
Peeping from a bank of gold.
BY a prairie's ripping streamlet,
Creeping through the messy mold.
Perfumes, fragrant, breezes seattle,
Unrestricted, undefiled,
Caught from cups of natures flowers,
Pretty blossoms sweet and wild.
Whether seen in woodland bowers,
Fairy dell or sylvan shade,
Ladies grand or maiden's tresses,
Messy plot or misty glade.
Its tender petals softly opening,
Like a dream will thoughts recall
OF a shy and blushing maiden,
Sweetest flower of them all.
other plants may breathe their doors,
Araby the gardens grow;
And woodland dells their widest
sweets
on vine and bloom may bestow.
But whether nursed by king or peasant
In what cline its lot may fall,
Nature holds my little blossom
Fairest flower of them all.
Every garden has its specie,
Every specie has it's queen,
Every blush of nature blossoms
Garlands fair for nymphs to CLEAN.
But not from glen or rustic shelter
There coyly peeps meath dewy fan,
Bud more rare than my sweet blossom,
Fairest flower of them all.
In cheeks of red roses quicken;
In eyes of blue violets spring.
Hair like MOSES sweetly shelter
Lips where cupids kisses cling.
Fairest bud Of Eden's gardens;
Pure as roses bathed in dew
Queen Of beauty, "Prairie blossom"
Little flower that woo.
