DANDELION.

There's a dandy little fellow ■ Who dresses all in yellow,— In yellowy with an overcoat of green; Vfith his hair all crisp and curly, - In; the spring-time,.bright and early, A-tripping o'er the meadow ho is seen. Through all the bright spring weather, He' : wanders o'er the liillside down the road;

Around his yellow feather, . The gipsy fire-flies camp; Bis companions are wdqdlark and the toad. Spick and spandy, little dandy, Golden dancer in s the dell! Green and yeliow happy fellow, All the little children love hitn well! ' . But" at last, this little fellow Doffs his dandy coat of yellow, And very feebly-tetters o'er the green ; — • • For'he verv old is growing, And'with nair all white and flowing . . A-nodding in the sunlight he is seen. - -The-little winds of morning Come a-flying .through the grass, , : , 'And clap their hands around him in their ; g'ee; ' They! shake him without warning,— His.wig falls off, alas I And a little bald-head dandy now is he. Oh, poor dandy, onee.. so, spandy, Golden dancer on the lea ! , . ■ Older growing, white hair flowing, Poor'little' bald-head dandy now is he! ; Nellie M;- Gairabrant.
