A visitor to my website is looking for the words to a poem her mother recited to her back in the 50's.  It's about the native wildflower found in woodlands - Dutchman's Breeches.  Four of the lines she remembers are:

Some little fairy Dutchmen
Went to take a bath.
They hung their little breeches,
On a stem along the path.

 If anyone knows this poem, please let me know.
