Buy my English posies!

You that will not turn—

Buy my hot-wood clematis,

Buy a frond o' fern

Gathered where the Erskine leaps

Down the road to Lorne—

Buy my Christmas creeper

And I'll say where you were born!

Buy my English posies!

Here's your choice unsold!

Buy a blood-red myrtle-bloom,

Buy the kowhai's gold
