August in the garden!
Now the cheerful Phlox
Makes one think of country-girls
Fresh in summer frocks.
There you see magenta,
Here is lovely white,
Mauve, and pink, and cherry-red-
Such a pleasant sight!
Smiling little fairy
Climbing up the stem,
Tell us which is prettiest?
She says, "All of them!"
"The Phlox Fairy"
