Good Gracious!

Amy Lowell

THEY say there is a fairy in every streak’d tulip.

I have rows and rows of them beside my door.

Hoop-la! Come out, Brownie,

And I will give you an emerald ear-ring!

You had better come out,

For to-morrow may be stormy,

And I could never bring myself to part with my emerald ear-rings

Unless there was a moon.
