The dragonflies are all a-buzz
The lily pads a-stir.

Did you ever see a dress
Like the one that covers her?

Petal smooth her satin folds
Pinks from Paris, Spanish gold.

If I had such a dress
I am awfully quick to stress

That I could be just as pretty
As the lady who is sitting

On her round green pouf
A little shy but not aloof.

The belle of the ball
Admired by all.
