<poem>
Dandelions gold and green,
Grassy banks with berries growing;
Meadowsweet the woodland queen,
Fairer flow'rs have never been.
All the sorrow I have seen.
Fades away when the flow'rs are blowing.
Dandelions gold and green,
Grassy banks with berries growing.
</poem>

Dandelions gold and green,
Grassy banks with berries growing;
Meadowsweet the woodland queen,
Fairer flow'rs have never been.
All the sorrow I have seen.
Fades away when the flow'rs are blowing.
Dandelions gold and green,
Grassy banks with berries growing.
