Kate L. Brown – DANDELION POEM

He is a roguish little elf,
A gay audacious fellow,
Who tramps about in doublet green
And skirt of brightest yellow;
In ev’ry field, by ev’ry road,
He peeps among the grasses,
And shows his sunny little face
To ev’ry one that passes.

Within the churchyard he is seen,
Beside the headstones peeping,
And shining like a golden star
O’er some still form there sleeping;
Beside the house door oft he springs,
In all his wanton straying,
And children shout in laughing glee
To find him in their playing.

At eve he dons his nightgown green,
And goes to bed right early,
At morn, he spreads his yellow skirts
To catch the dewdrops pearly;
A darling elf is Dandelion,
A roguish wanton sweeting;
Yet he is loved by ev’ry child,
All give him joyous greeting.
Kate L. Brown.
