Lyrics
We are poppies in fairest splendor blooming fragrant always
Through the mosses and the grasses looming
Fascinations rare assuming
We delight when alone to pass the moments gaily at play
Every petal graciously nods our many charms to display
For death like a breath, comes to all soon or late
And mortals are the sport of a mischievous fate
So welcome the peace that we bring to mankind
It is happiness to dream on, with every care left behind
We are poppies in fairest splendor blooming fragrant and gay
Through the mosses and the grasses looming
Fascinations rare assuming
We delight when alone to pass the moments gaily at play
Every petal graciously nods our many charms to display
Our charms to display
Our charms to display
