A DIALOGUE by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: THE DANDELIONS IN THE GRASS
Last Line: (WHEN THEY DIE) THEY LIVED AT ALL!
Subject(s): FLOWERS;
She. THE dandelions in the grass
Are blown to fairies' clocks;
On this green bank I pluckt (Alas)
The last of lady-smocks.
He. Let them die,
What care I?
Roses come when field flowers pass.

She. But these sun-sated sultry hours
Will make your roses fall:
Their large wide-open crimson flowers
Must die like daisies small.
He. Sweet as yet!
I'll forget
(When they die) they lived at all!
