from An Old Saying

Spring has come when you can place your foot
on three daisies at once.

from The Voice of Spring

I come, I come! ye have called me long.
I come o'er the mountains with light and song!
Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,
By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,
By the primrose-stars, in the shadowy grass,
By the green leaves opening as I pass.

--- Felicia Hemans (1793-1835)

from The Mystery of Flowers

The faintest streak that on a petal lies
May speak instruction to initiate eyes.

--- William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)
