Literature and Art 193 



But patiently each wrought her beautiful dress, 

 Or fashioned her beautiful crown; 



And now they are coming to brighten 



the world, 



Still shadowed by winter's frown; 

 And well may they cheerily laugh, "Ha! 



ha! ha!" 

 In a chorus soft and low, 



The millions of flowers hid under the ground - 

 Yes millions beginning to grow. 



With what exclamation did March call the flowers? 



Tell in your own words what happened under 

 the ground when the flowers heard this call. 



Mention the flowers that helped to make the chorus? 



Quote the words in which each one told what he 

 would give to help make the spring beautiful. 



Which of these quotations are divided ? 



Why is the Narcissus said to bring " silver and gold "? 



What had the flowers been doing underground during the 

 cold weather? Why are they called " brave " and " patient " ? 



Tell how flowers brighten the world.
