Explore "The Flowers" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All the names I know from nurse: / Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, / Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, / And the Lady Hollyhock.
Fairy places, fairy things, / Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, / Tiny trees for tiny dames -- / These must all be fairy names!
Tiny woods below whose boughs / Shady fairies weave a house; / Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, / Where the braver fairies climb!
Fair are grown-up people's trees, / But the fairest woods are these; / Where if I were not so tall, / I should live for good and all.
