God took His finest blue azure thread
Angels wove it with satin circle-ettes;
He sprinkled them over emerald Texas fields
And God called them---Texas Bluebonnets.
God made oceans of His finest flowers
He flung them far as the Eyes of Texas could see;
A reflection of the blue Lone Star State skies
He called the spectacle: "Blue-Bonnet Ecstasy".
