Golden Glories.

Topics: classic

The buttercup is like a golden cup,     The marigold is like a golden frill,     The daisy with a golden eye looks up,     And golden spreads the flag beside the rill,     And gay and golden nods the daffodil,     The gorsey common swells a golden sea,     The cowslip hangs a head of golden tips,     And golden drips the honey which the bee     Sucks from sweet hearts of flowers and stores and sips.
