Excerpt from Among the Flowers and Other Poems When rosy and white are the new-blown mays, And rosy and white on the wanton breeze The petals fall from the apple trees, And under the hedge, where the shade lies wet, Are children, picking the Violet! Sing me a song of idle days, When Spring IS queen over woods and ways! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
