Songs for Parents: Flower Preferences

Explore "Songs for Parents: Flower Preferences" by John Chipman Farrar on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

If I were a tiny fairy With nothing else to do But to wriggle into flowers All the long day through,

I'd dance among the roses, I'd take a stately walk, Balancing precisely On an Easter-lily stalk.

For play I'd choose the jonquils, For swimming, poppy cups, For jokes and tricks and tiny naps, The Johnny-jump-ups!

But on some quiet evening, I'd leave my fairy band, And on a star-flower through the sky I'd sail to fairyland.
