Lyrics »

And when the roses are half-bud soft flowers And lovely as the king of flies has come It was a fleeting visit, all too brief In three short minutes, he had been and gone He rested there upon an apple leaf A gorgeous opal crown sat on his head Although the garden is a lovely place Was it worthy of so fine a guest Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... Dragonfly, dragonfly ...
