Two little flowers (and dedicated to them)

On sunny days in our backyard,

two little flowers are seen,

One dressed, at times, in brightest pink

and one in green.

The marigold is radiant,

the rose passing fair;

The violet is ever dear,

the orchid, ever rare;

There's lovliness

in wild flow'rs

of field or wide savannah,

But fairest, rarest of them all

are Edith and Susanna.
