dear common flower that grow'st beside the way
fringing the dusty road with harmless gold
first pledge of blithesome may
which children pluck and full of pride uphold
high-hearted buccaneers o'erjoyed that they
an eldorado in the grass have found
which not the rich earth's ample round
may match in wealth thou art more dear to me
than all the prouder summer-blooms may be
