Dandelions

Dandelion song


( page 29 Summer, Wynstone Press)


Dandelion yellow as gold






What do you do all day?

I wait and I wait in the tall green grass,
Till the children come out to play.





Dandelion, yellow as gold,
What do you do all night?


I wait and I wait in the long green grass,
Till my hair grows long and white.






And what do you do when your hair grows white
And the children come out to play?


They pick me up in their dimpled hands
And blow my hair away.
