Ousley:  Title is Dandelions by Romney Gay

Here are some quotes:

You cannot forget if you would those golden kisses all over the cheeks of
the meadow, queerly called dandelions.
          - Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers--A Discourse of Flowers


"It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see
upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant
dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun"

         - Henry Ward Beecher quotes (Liberal US Congregational minister,
1813-1887)


"If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn."
         - Unknown

Check Valery Worth's book, All The Small Poems. I know she wrote a short 
poem about dandelions and I think it's in this book.
