HOLLYHOCK LADIES, by                    
First Line: Hollyhock ladies-curtsying, swaying
Last Line: Hollyhock ladies—tip-toeing sprightly.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cearnach, Conal
Subject(s): Hollyhocks


Hollyhock ladies—curtsying, swaying,
To the slow measure zephyr is playing.
Amber-hued fichues, mantles of red,
Green-winged caps for each dainty head.
Pink tinted petticoats fluttering lightly,
Hollyhock ladies—tip-toeing sprightly.
