Surely the flowers of a hundred springs Are simply the souls of beautiful things!
The poppies aflame with gold and red Were the kisses of lovers in days that are fled.
The purple pansies with dew-drops pearled Were the rainbow dreams of a youngling world.

Was a perfect, rapturous thought of love.
Oh! surely the blossoms of all the springs Must be the souls of beautiful things.
