Hazel-Eyed Ma Grew the Loveliest Begonias

Hazel-eyed Ma grew the loveliest begonias on her neat and colorful balcony; and if rains were scarce, she would water them... until the fragrant buds would bloom! Exactly at eight o' clock, for three seasons, she tendered for them with her caring hands; and no weeds would mar their beauty so exquisite... all the nuns came rushing from the Convent! Sing, adorable mother, sing another aria...the happiest one, as you caress your flowers with the gentlest touch; crowds will gather underneath your festive balcony, to listen with interest and acclaim you for your superb vocals! Hazel-eyed Ma grew the loveliest begonias not seen in the most spacious and elegant gardens; she suddenly was known as the flower woman, but also became the envy of many housewives.
