Wonderful Weeds a Fantasia

groundsel
      forget-me not

my pretty spurge
      mere fools parsley
      sowing thistles
      a
        dead nettle
leaving such
                  bitter cress
a scentless mayweed
                          in a field of pansy

O scarlet pimpernel
                      a dan-de-iion
black
    as nightshade
                         a common poppy

speedwell
              my wild radish my fat hen
penny crest
               in a sheperd's
                                     purse
