The flowers all Assemble for the victory ball! Below the wide triumphal arch, Behold, a garden on the march! The air with iridescence loaded As if a rainbow had exploded. They swing and circle, swoop and dip, But with such delicate mastership That not a gossamer thread is torn By catching on a partner's thorn. A wildflower interrupts the waltz By turning double somersaults, And now all the flowers advance, All swirling in the victory dance Until the blazing ballroom seems A gaudy carnival of dreams. Of dreams designed for child's delight, To dream this night, and every night. [music] ________ Mark A. Johnson Purdue University decvax!pur-ee!mj (317) 743-2548
