The Flowers
All the names I know from nurse--
Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,
Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock,
And the Lady Hollyhock.
Fairy places, fairy things
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames
These must all be fairy names!
Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house
Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme
Where the braver fairies climb!
Fair are grown-up people's trees
But the fairest woods are these
Where if I were not so tall
I should live for good and all.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
