And has the Spring's all glorious eye	A
No lesson to the mind	B
The birds that cleave the golden sky	A
Things to the earth resigned	B
Wild flowers that dance to every wind	B
Do they no memory leave behind	B
	-
Aye flowers The very name of flowers	C
That bloom in wood and glen	D
Brings Spring to me in Winter's hours	C
And childhood's dreams again	D
The primrose on the woodland lea	E
Was more than gold and lands to me	E
	-
The violets by the woodland side	F
Are thick as they could thrive	G
I've talked to them with childish pride	F
As things that were alive	G
I find them now in my distress	H
They seem as sweet yet valueless	I
	-
The cowslips on the meadow lea	E
How have I run for them	J
I looked with wild and childish glee	E
Upon each golden gem	J
And when they bowed their heads so shy	A
I laughed and thought they danced for joy	K
	-
And when a man in early years	L
How sweet they used to come	M
And give me tales of smiles and tears	N
And thoughts more dear than home	O
Secrets which words would then reprove	G
They told the names of early love	G
	-
The primrose turned a babbling flower	P
Within its sweet recess	H
I blushed to see its secret bower	P
And turned her name to bless	H
The violets said the eyes were blue	Q
I loved and did they tell me true	Q
	-
The cowslips blooming everywhere	R
My heart's own thoughts could steal	S
I nip't them that they should not hear	T
They smiled and would reveal	S
And o'er each meadow right or wrong	U
They sing the name I've worshipped long	U
	-
The brook that mirrored clear the sky	A
Full well I know the spot	V
The mouse ear looked with bright blue eye	A
And said Forget me not	V
And from the brook I turned away	W
But heard it many an after day	W
	-
The king cup on its slender stalk	X
Within the pasture dell	Y
Would picture there a pleasant walk	X
With one I loved so well	Y
It said How sweet at eventide	W
'T would be with true love at thy side	W
	-
And on the pasture's woody knoll	Z
I saw the wild bluebell	Y
On Sundays where I used to stroll	Z
With her I loved so well	Y
She culled the flowers the year before	A2
These bowed and told the story o'er	P
	-
And every flower that had a name	B2
Would tell me who was fair	R
But those without as strangers came	B2
And blossomed silent there	R
I stood to hear but all alone	C2
They bloomed and kept their thoughts unknown	C2
	-
But seasons now have nought to say	W
The flowers no news to bring	D2
Alone I live from day to day	W
Flowers deck the bier of Spring	D2
And birds upon the bush or tree	E
All sing a different tale to me	E
