The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker

The Phlox Fairy

 

August in the garden!
Now the cheerful Phlox
Makes one think of country-girls
Fresh in summer frocks.
There you see magenta,
Here is lovely white,
Mauve, and pink, and cherr-red -
such a pleasant sight!
Smiling little fairy
Climbing up the stem,
Tell us which is prettiest?
She say, "All of them!"
