• One lonely flower early in the day
    was pinker than your lips,
    was brighter than sun rays.
    One lonely flower early in the day
    was plucked from the ground.
    Now it sits in my room.

    Two lonely flowers in the middle of the day
    were softer than your hands,
    were sweeter than a kiss.
    Two lonely flowers in the middle of the day
    were plucked from the ground.
    Now they sit in my room.

    Three lonely flowers late in the day
    were taller than your head,
    were three of a kind.
    Three lonely flowers late in the day
    were plucked from the ground.
    Now they sit in my room.

    Four lonely flowers late in the night
    were redder than my eyes,
    were fuller than the moon.
    Four lonely flowers late in the night
    were plucked from the ground.
    Now they sit in my room.

    One special flower in deep sleep
    was dreaming mighty hard,
    was feeling mighty good.
    One special flower in deep sleep
    forgot to pluck himself from his roots
    and come sleep in my room.
