Dandelions
Welcome children of the Spring
In your garbs of green and gold
Lifting up your sun-crowned heads
On the verdant plain and world
As a bright and joyous troop
From the breast of earth ye came
Fair and lovely are your cheeks
With sun-kisses all aflame
In the dusty streets and lanes
Where the lowly children play
There as gentle friends ye smile
Making brighter life’s highway
Dewdrops and the morning sun
Weave your garments fair and bright
And we welcome you to-day
As the children of the light
Children of the earth and sun
We are slow to understand
All the richness of the gifts
Flowing from our Father’s hand
