DAISIES.
   Fair and peaceful daisies,
    Smiling in the grass,
   Who hath sung your praises?
    Poets by you pass,
And I alone am left to celebrate your mass.

   In the summer morning,
    Through the fields ye,shine,
   Joyfully adorning
    Earth with grace divine,
And pour, from sunny hearts, fresh gladness into mine.

   Lying in the meadows,
    Like the milky way,
   From nocturnal shadows
    Glad to fall away,
And live a happy life in the wide light of day.

   Bees about you humming
    Pile their yellow store,
