As gardens grow with flowers
English grows with words,
Words that have secret powers,
Words that give joy like birds.
Some of the words you say,
Both in and out of school,
Are brighter than the day,
And deeper than a pool.
Some words there are that dance,
Some words there are that sigh,
The fool's words come by chance,
The poet's to heaven fly.
When you are grown, your tongue
Should give the joys of birds;
Get while you are young
The gift of English words.
