Lily:
Clusters of crocus
Purple and gold
Blankst of pansies
up from the cold
Lilies and iris
Safe from the chill
Snowdrops so still
Fakir:
Ah
A'o jadu ke mausam
A'o garmiyo ke din
A'o mantra tantra yantra
Us ki bimari hata'o
Children's voices:
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does you garden grow?
Not so well, she said, see the lily's dead
Pull it up and out you go
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Far too hot, she cried, see my rose has died
Dig it up,and out you go
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Had an early frost, now it's gone, it's lost
Dig it up, your' out, you're up
You're out, you're up
And out you go
