Flower Fairy Of August

 



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!"
