The buttercup is like a golden cup,

The marigold is like a golden frill,

The daisy with a golden eye looks up,

And golden spreads the flag beside the rill,

And gay and golden nods the daffodil,

The gorsey common swells a golden sea,

The cowslip hangs a head of golden tips,

And golden drips the honey which the bee

Sucks from sweet hearts of flowers and stores and sips.
