The Dandelion

 O DANDELION, rich and haughty, 
King of village flowers! 
Each day is coronation time, 
You have no humble hours.
I like to see you bring a troop To beat the blue-grass spears, To scorn the lawn-mower that would be Like fate's triumphant shears, Your yellow heads are cut away, It seems your reign is o'er.
By noon you raise a sea of stars More golden than before.
