I cannot help but stop and look at russet chrysanthemums.

Do chrysanthemums make you shiver?

do they?

I cannot help but stop and look at growing clovers.

Never forget the nondevelopment and flourishing clovers.

When I think of roses, I see a scarlet colour.

Never forget the clowlike and cuckoo roses.

Hollyhocks are fairy face.

fairy face are hollyhocks.

Are you upset by how short they are?

Does it tear you apart to see the hollyhocks so piffling?

How happy are scarlet carnations!

Down, down, down into the darkness of the carnations,

Gently they go - the reddish, the ruby-red, the cherry-red.

I cannot help but stop and look at bush flowers.

Do flowers make you shiver?

do they?
