Dandelion clock
This is dedicated to the divine Miss O because she failed her driving test today :-(
She is making a wish on her dandelion clock.
I have every confidence that she will pass next time 'cos she deserves it.
The Dandelions
Upon a showery night and still,
Without a sound of warning,
A trooper band surprised the hill,
And held it in the morning.
We were not waked by bugle-notes,
No cheer our dreams invaded,
And yet, at dawn, their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
We careless folk the deed forgot;
Till one day, idly walking,
We marked upon the self-same spot
A crowd of veterans talking.
They shook their trembling heads and gray
With pride and noiseless laughter;
When, well-a-day! they blew away,
And ne'er were heard of after!
Helen Gray Cone [1859-1934]
