Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBBDBEEFFGGCHI JKKHLLH| Flowers preach to us if we will hear | A |
| The rose saith in the dewy morn | B |
| I am most fair | C |
| Yet all my loveliness is born | B |
| Upon a thorn | B |
| The poppy saith amid the corn | B |
| Let but my scarlet head appear | D |
| And I am held in scorn | B |
| Yet juice of subtle virtue lies | E |
| Within my cup of curious dyes | E |
| The lilies say Behold how we | F |
| Preach without words of purity | F |
| The violets whisper from the shade | G |
| Which their own leaves have made | G |
| Men scent our fragrance on the air | C |
| Yet take no heed | H |
| Of humble lessons we would read | I |
| - | |
| But not alone the fairest flowers | J |
| The merest grass | K |
| Along the roadside where we pass | K |
| Lichen and moss and sturdy weed | H |
| Tell of His love who sends the dew | L |
| The rain and sunshine too | L |
| To nourish one small seed | H |
