there was once a garden
there was a girl, no warden
there was a little girl, so helpless
her flowers scattered around, hopeless
a daisy, lavender, and lily
she danced around so silly
a heart so pure It pranced around
she was so happy she jumped up and down
her garden atop a mound
her flowers scatter on the ground
alive and well and here they dwell

one day a man came by
a man so sly, he said 'hi'
he had no face and had no eye
the little girl said, 'oh my oh my
who are you please don't lie '
with no response, he walked away
only to come back another day

the little girl was so tired
it was sleep she desired
the little girl could play no more
and so she laid down on the floor
she held her flowers she did adore
and fell asleep without a snore

here came the man so sly
the man with no face, no eye
he plucked her flowers oh why oh why
he torn them oh so vie
the little girl had no voice, no cry
her eyes stayed shut
and she stayed put
her flowers torn
her garden forlorn
he picked her lilies one by one
oh the man he wasn't done
the flower thief plucked and tore
she became rotten to the core
she thought, 'no more no more'
and yet the man tore and tore
no more more
yet he tore

the little girl opened her eyes
she gave her cries
and fought the flies
the flower thief came and went
her garden no more content
daisies, lavender, and lilies gone
this all happened before dawn
now she sits in her dirt
in her garden, so hurt
