THE FLOWER GIRL. 
BY MBS. COEBOLD. 
Come buy, come buy my mystic flowers, 
All ranged with due consideration. 
And culled in fancy’s fairy bowers. 
To suit each age and every station. 
For those who late in life would tarry. 
I’ve Snowdrops, winter’s children cold ; 
And those who seek for wealth to marry 
May buy the flaunting Marigold. 
I’ve Ragwort, Ragged Robins, too. 
Cheap flowers for those of low condition; 
For Bachelors I’ve Buttons blue ; 
And Crown Imperials for ambition. 
For sportsmen keen, who range the lea, 
I’ve Pheasant’s Eye, and sprigs of Heather ; 
For courtiers with the supple knee, 
I’ve Parasites and Prince’s-Feather.
