I found this page from an old Childcraft book--my favorite Childcraft book in fact--the book of poetry. One year for a school reading challenge my teacher agreed to let me memorize this poem about Queen Anne's Lace along with several other poems, mostly about wild flowers, and recite them in front of the class in lieu of reading. I did it. Little seven year old heart pounding, I stood in front of the class and recited each one. I was the only kid to employ this method, and even though it wasn't enough to win me the competition (the victory went to my arch rival who was similar and yet truly superior to me in every way, but at the time I was convinced she had cheated) to this day I still have those poems memorized. I suppose it helped that I kept that book and read it a million times over to my own sweet children when they were very young. Still, I think of this little poem each June when the Queen Anne's Lace are in full bloom, brightening every field and hillside.
