"Sing a song of blossom,"
Said little Marjory Brown:
"Why won't it come down;
Here in the town,
Please?"
Said little Marjory Brown.

"Please,
Wind, blow just a breath, for me
To see
The great white apple-blossoms blow
Just like snow --
Just like snow in our garden before we
Came back to town,"
Said little Marjory Brown.

All day and all night
A wind did blow,
Marjory laughed at the flying snow
And its whirling riot:
But at dawn she grew wan and white,
And was quiet.
And the doctor said,
With his hand on a bowed sobbing head,
"Too late you came up to town
With little Marjory Brown."
