Alike and similar somewhat, somewhat
Hey, geraniums, such halcyon breeze
You blow along in soothing delight
While the Himalayas proudly greets
In acceptance welcoming me thereat
How do I thank you in great words
When I'm stuck in awe-struck heart

O'Wallich of rose-pink and red-purple
O' Buxton Blue of opal or angel-blue
O'Roundleaf Geranium of pale purple
O'Small Geranium of rosy pink hue
O'Trailing Geranium of pinkish purple
Of leaves similar, hairy sparse so true
So true friendly hearts hearty yours all

O'Meadow Geranium purplish red and white
O'Black Eyed Geraniumblack eyed purple
O'Nepal Geranium wild and small and white
O'Himalayan Geranium blue and beautiful
O'Don's Geranium pinkish purple and sweet
Of herbs and veins similar and beautiful
So true friendly hearts hearty yours all
