POPPIES
Said brilliant young Miss Poppy, In her dress of scarlet hue, " I'm sure I'm far more lovely Than any one of you!" They hung their heads in silence, For they knew that it was true. Then up spoke little Pansy, In her dress of violet blue, " We know you are more striking, But we do not envy you. For though your colour's bright and gay, It will most surely fade away. Miss Poppy, you have had your day, Now we will have ours too!" —By Florence Morgan.
