Gay Gardens
THE FLOWER BHOP. The flower shop brings colour Into the city street. And Alls the air around it with a perfume soft and sweet. Passers-by will hurry on—they have no time to spare. They know not of the simple Joys brought (by the flowers there. There the bridal lily stands, Queen above them all; By her side the lilac branch, feathery and tall; Early daffodils are there, symbol of the spring. Oh I how grateful we should be for the sign of hope they bring. Here the little violet bows her modest head; There is the gay anemone, In gown of vivid red; Here the fair mimosa blooms, yellow as the sun. Oh, flowers Int Tie window, I love you every one! —Vera Turnbull
