| One day a roseawoke from her bed
She yawned a little and then she said,
"Hello there, Miss Queen Anne's Lace
What a pretty look you have upon your face."
She commanded the rest, one and all,
To stand up straight, stems and all,
She scolded all the shrinking violets
To stop their talking and be silent.
She reminded all the lilies of the valley
To stop all their "dilly-dally"
Along came a gentle breeze
That came through the willow trees
A voice, it has been said,
Remarked, "Dear rose, please go back to bed."
