1. Dear Grandpa's farm abounded in
All sons of pretty flowers,
And Cynthia, in picking them,
Spent many happy hours.;
She loved each kind devotedly,
And formed a plan one day
To get some help and gather, in
The "biggest yet" bouquet.
2. No boys were asked to go along,
We hardlv need to state;
All know such things as flowers" they
Cannot appreciate.
So little Cassy June was asked
And sister Lulu Ann;
They three she thought would be enough,
To carry out the plan.
3. They wandered through the meadow first
And down beside the mill;
Then Cassy said she knew.a place,
Around behind the hill,
Where daisies in abundance grew;
And, plodding on and on,
They never stopped to calculate
The distance they had gone.

4. They soon discovered they were tired
And had enough, they knew,:
Of flowers, for their arms were filled
With every kind that grew.
While resting on a mossy bank
To Cynthia it occurred
That they, had better start for home,
And so she -gave, the word.

5. But complications now arose,
As no one seemed to know
The section they had traversed or
The way they'd ought to go.
. That they were lost they fully knew,
And Cassy said, "Oh, dear!
These woods are full of lions and bears;
They ?H eat us up,T fear!"
J 6.But"Cynthianna calmed their fright
" And told them not to weep.
y - With arms about each other's necks
They both were soon asleep.
'The bears," said Cynthia, keeping watch,
"That in these woods once dwelt
i Are dead, and all the lions killed off

7. She bravely kept her, vigil, thougft '
Theiwoqds were, getting dark,
And in:the distance thought she heard
The echo of a bark.
Then tumbling through the underbrush
' Came "Dash." the faithful hound,
And Grandpa, with the hired man,
In joy that they were found.
