Edith Nesbit - A Garden Of Girls
Work rating: Low

KATE is like a violet, Gertrude`s like a rose, 
        Jane is like a gillyflower smart; 
But Laura`s like a lily, the purest bud that blows, 
        Whose white, white petals veil the golden heart. 
Girls in the garden--one and two and three-- 
One for song and one for play and one--ah, one for me! 
Gillyflowers and violets and roses fair and fine, 
But only one a lily, and that one lily mine! 


Bertha is a hollyhock, stately, tall, and fair, 
        Mabel has the daisy`s dainty grace, 
Edith has the gold of the sunflower on her hair, 
        But Laura wears the lily in her face. 
Girls in the garden--five and six and seven-- 
Three to take, and three to give, but one--ah! one is given-- 
Hollyhocks and daisies, and sunflowers like the sun, 
But only one a lily, and that one lily won.
