One bright May dawn to see the sun rise.
And as they looked, they said, each one,
"O how I would like to be the sun!
For it rides around the world all day,
While we stand still in the field," said they.
Five popies watched the sun until
It faded and sank behind the hill,
And they said: "After such a long trip about,
The poor old sun must be all tired out!"
And they drooped their heads in the grasses deep,
And five little poppies fell fast asleep.
Agnes Lee
"Five Little Poppies"
