FLORA.
In a dainty robe of greenComes the nodding daffadillyAnd the stately Easter lily;In the meadows cowslips shimmer,Crocuses with dewdrops glimmer;April's smile and May's soft splendorLinger o'er us gentle, tender;Fair forget-me-nots conveneIn the most delightful places;Mount and vale are wrapped in glory,Greylock doffs his tippet hoary,And Wachusett stands new crownedThanks to Flora, queen of graces;Laurel draped and daisy gowned.

In a dainty robe of green
Comes the nodding daffadilly
And the stately Easter lily;
In the meadows cowslips shimmer,
Crocuses with dewdrops glimmer;
April's smile and May's soft splendor
Linger o'er us gentle, tender;
Fair forget-me-nots convene
In the most delightful places;
Mount and vale are wrapped in glory,
Greylock doffs his tippet hoary,
And Wachusett stands new crowned
Thanks to Flora, queen of graces;
Laurel draped and daisy gowned.
