The Sunflower Dance.

“Come, dance with me!” the sunflower said,

Tossing his locks about,

Till they stood like an aureole round his head.

“Let’s dance ’till the stars come out!”

He led the way, and in single file

They danced through the fields of corn;

While the sun went down with a cheerful smile,

And laughed when he rose next morn!
