[These flowers that so reflect the Grace]

These flowers that so reflect the Grace
Of one who is the Queen of Graces!
I'll pop into my richest vase,
Where I may watch their pretty faces.
And should a fly approach their lips,
Then, Mercy, shield the little sinner;
For if I catch him on the hips,
He'll never need another dinner!
