  • Text: "We are the Alpine Anemone. / And either white, / or lemony, / We love the wind; / He is so kind! / Each day at home / To brush and comb / With tender care / Our purple hair." / And the third one who had been up much earlier / than the others, and over whose hairdressing the wind had / spent much time was indeed lovely: for her long feathery / tresses were streaming and shining in the light.
