Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EFGG HHII JJKK LLMN OOPP| Tufted and bunched and ranged with careless art | A |
| Here where the paving stones are set apart | A |
| Alert and gay and innocent of guile | B |
| The little pansies nod their heads and smile | B |
| - | |
| With what a whispering and a lulling sound | C |
| They watch the children sport about the ground | C |
| Longing it seems to join the pretty play | D |
| That laughs and runs the light winged hours away | D |
| - | |
| And other children long ago there were | E |
| Who shone and played and made the garden fair | F |
| To whom the pansies in their robes of white | G |
| And gold and purple gave a welcome bright | G |
| - | |
| Gone are those voices but the others came | H |
| Joyous and free whose spirit was the same | H |
| And other pansies robed as those of old | I |
| Peeped up and smiled in purple white and gold | I |
| - | |
| For pansies are I think the little gleams | J |
| Of children's visions from a world of dreams | J |
| Jewels of innocence and joy and mirth | K |
| Alight with laughter as they fall to earth | K |
| - | |
| Below the ancient guardian it may hap | L |
| The kindly mother takes them in her lap | L |
| Decks them with glowing petals and replaces | M |
| In the glad air the friendly pansy faces | N |
| - | |
| So tread not rashly children lest you crush | O |
| A part of childhood in a thoughtless rush | O |
| Would you not treat them gently if you knew | P |
| Pansies are little bits of children too | P |
