On sunny days in our backyard,
two little flowers are seen,
One dressed, at times, in brightest pink 
and one in green.
The marigold is radiant, 
the rose passing fair;
The violet is ever dear, 
the orchid, ever rare;
There's lovliness in wild flow'rs
of field or wide savannah,
But fairest, rarest of them all 
are Edith and Susanna.
