Dear Grif

By Louisa May Alcott

"Dear Grif,

    Here is a whiff

    Of beautiful spring flowers;

    The big red rose

    Is for your nose,

    As toward the sky it towers.

    "Oh, do not frown

    Upon this crown

    Of green pinks and blue geranium

    But think of me

    When this you see,

    And put it on your cranium."
