Subject(s): DANDELIONS;FLOWERS;WEEDS;
O Dandelion, yellow as gold,
What do you all the day?

I just wait here in the tall green grass
Till the children come to play.

O Dandelion, yellow as gold,
What do you do all night?

I wait and wait till the cool dew falls,
And my hair grows long and white.

And what do you do when your hair is white,
And the children come to play?

They take me in their dimpled hands,
And blow all my hair away.
