You cannot forget if you would those golden kisses all over the cheeks of the meadow, queerly called dandelions. - Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers--A Discourse of Flowers Upon a showery night and still, Without a sound of warning, A trooper band surprised the hill, And held it in the morning. We were not waked by bugle notes, No cheer our dreams invaded, And yet at dawn, their yellow coats On the green slopes paraded. - Helen Gray Cone, The Dandelions Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold, First pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold, High-hearted buccaneers, o'erjoyed that they An Eldorado in the grass have found, Which not the rich earth's ample round May match in wealth, thou art more dear to me Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be. - James Russell Lowell, To the Dandelion Young Dandelion On a hedge-side Said young Dandelion Who'll be my bride? Said young Dandelion With a sweet air, I have my eye on Miss Daisy fair. - Dinah Maria Mulock (used pseudonym Mrs. Craik), Young Dandelion
