Good Evening.

I'm nuts about the lovely flowers
That bloom about mid-June;
Their sweet fragrance fills the air.,
But why do they fade so soon?
Roses, buttercups and daisies,
June's contribution of flowers;
Found in garden, found in field
And among the woodland bowers.
Mountain laurel, would not say,
Has any rival more passing fair,
Seen in the depths of Connecticut woods
With blossoms undeniably rare.
Buttercups, daisies and laurel,
And roses both garden and wild,
In mid-June are sweet on the air
With a soft breeze blowing mild.
I'm nuts about the flowery month,
Though June can be gay deceiver,
With rain to dampen spirits light
And roses to start my hay fever.
