Buttercup

by Jean Ingelow

Est. reading time: 1 min

O the buttercups ! that field
O' the cloth of gold, where pennons swam,
Where France set up his lilied shield,
His oriflamb,
TO GENERAL CROMWELL
And Henry's lion-standard rolled ;
What was it to their matchless sheen,
Their million million drops of gold Among the green!
