While walking inside a beautiful park,
I was arrested by the sweet perfume
Of a solitary flower!
I stood there like an innocent child
Instructed by a conjurer to be unmoved
I asked the flower why she is so beautiful
And so delicate and how can she emit
Such enchanting fragrances for all?
I asked her: Will I pluck you
And take you with me?
She replied: No, no,
Please don't do it
As I am everybody's property!
Do you emit fragrances for all?
Yes, but a mild breeze is my friend
And it carries my perfume to different
Parts of this beautiful park enchanting all visitors!
Ok, you stay here
But I will visit you tomorrow!
Then the flower put a critical smile on her face!
