第一首：

The sun laid eyes on you in spring

Washed you with its colour to shine bright

The wind then whispers in your ear

And prepared you for a magical flight

That’s why you glow and shine

And are first but never late

As you swiftly fly in the wind

Searching for your future and fate

第二首：

Little bud Dandelion

Hears from her nest,

“Merry heart, starry eye,

Wake from your rest!”

Wide ope the emerald lids;

Robin’s above;

Wise little Dandelion

Smiles at his love.

Cold lie the daisy-banks,

Clad but in green,

Where in the Mays agone

Bright hues were seen.

Wild pinks are slumbering,

Violets delay–

True little Dandelion

Greeteth the May.

Meek little Dandelion

Groweth more fair,

Till dries the amber dew

Out from her hair.

High rides the thirsty sun,

Fiercely and high,–

Faint little Dandelion

Closeth her eye.

Dead little Dandelion,

In her white shroud,

Heareth the angel-breeze

Call from the cloud.

Tiny plumes fluttering

Make no delay,

Little winged Dandelion

Soareth away.
