Dear common flower, that grow’st beside the way, 
Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold! 
First pledge of blithesome May, 
Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold— 
High-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they 
An Eldorado in the grass have found, 
Which not the rich earth’s ample round 
May match in wealth !—-thou art more dear to me 
Than all the prouder summer blooms may be, 
To the Dandelion—JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
