- Every wayside blossom has a beauty all its own,
- If only the restless traveller would bear to wait and watch –
- The dainty daisy, the pretty pansy,
- The stately sunflower, the elegant hollyhock.
- Every wayside blossom has its cup ful of nectar,
- If only the resistant traveler would dare to stop and sip –
- The ravishing rose, the heady hyacinth,
- The fragrant jasmine, the juicy honeysuckle.
- Every wayside blossom has its own tale to tell,
- If only the rushing traveller would care to pause and listen –
- The enchanting jungle orchid, the exotic desert bloom,
- The elusive touch-me-not, the enthralling forget-me-not.
