Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB FBGB AHIHJHKH LHMH NOAONPAP NONP AOAOAP| Only the commonest flowers | A |
| Grow in my garden small | B |
| Like buttercups and bouncing bets | C |
| And hollyhocks by the wall | B |
| And sunflowers nodding their stately heads | D |
| Like grenadiers so tall | B |
| But the purple pansy grows beneath | E |
| The sweetest flower of all | B |
| - | |
| And tiny feathery filmy ferns | F |
| You scarce can see at all | B |
| Fleck the shady side of the stones | G |
| So dainty fine and small | B |
| - | |
| Only the commonest flowers | A |
| Grow in this garden of mine | H |
| The larkspur flaunting her sky blue cap | I |
| And the twinkling celandine | H |
| Shakes her jewels of freckled gold | J |
| And drinks her honey wine | H |
| Making a cup of her lucent stem | K |
| So slender and so fine | H |
| - | |
| You hear the waves that dimple and slide | L |
| Slide and shimmer and shine | H |
| Under her fairy slippered feet | M |
| My golden celandine | H |
| - | |
| The hands of the little children | N |
| Gather them without fear | O |
| Wonders of beauty and gladness | A |
| To them my flowers appear | O |
| I have seen them bend to listen | N |
| With poised and patient ear | P |
| The curfew chime of the fairies | A |
| In the lily's bell to hear | P |
| - | |
| Oh blessed and innocent children | N |
| With eyes so crystal clear | O |
| That ye look with the dual vision | N |
| Of the baby and the seer | P |
| - | |
| To you the stars and the angels | A |
| And the heavens themselves are near | O |
| And the amaranths of paradise | A |
| That blossom all the year | O |
| I would I could see what ye see | A |
| And hear what ye can hear | P |
