spring beauty wildflower (Claytonia virginica)

To shop, and to school, to work and play,

The busy people pass all day;

They hurry, hurry, to and fro,

And hardly notice as they go

the wayside flowers, known so well,

whose names so few of them can tell.

They never think of fairy-folk

Who may be hiding for a joke!
