There's nothing like eating a flower,

A pansy, a violet, a rose,

Daisy, cornflower, arugula,

Nasturtium.

The okra blossom is beautiful,

And may even be more delicious than the pod.

Lavender, rosemary, bergamot,

Such were the ambrosia of the gods.

And as for me, I believe

That one truly does become what one eats,

So may my sweetness never turn sour.

I'll make my bower from branches and stalks,

My nourishment, borage blooms

And flowers that I forage from your garden.
