Default Milkweed Poem

Hi Everyone,

My aunt attended the Gilford Village Grade School circa 1913. She died about 10 years ago at age 95. She used to recite a poem about "milkweed babies" flying off into the wind. I believe the first line was, "Milkweed babies raise their heads". I found a poem called "Dainty Milkweed Babies" which is similar but it is not the one I remember. Wonder if anyone in the area may have any knowledge of this poem - perhaps it has been handed down through a couple generations.
