Daisy Time by Marjorie Pickthall


Daisy Time

BY MARJORIE PICKTHALL
See, the grass is full of stars,
Fallen in their brightness;
Hearts they have of shining gold,
Rays of shining whiteness.


Buttercups have honeyed hearts,
Bees they love the clover,
But I love the daisies' dance
All the meadow over.


Blow, O blow, you happy winds,
Singing summer's praises,
Up the field and down the field
A-dancing with the daisies.

Lighthearted and lovely imagery. I've provided a link to learn more. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/marjorie-pickthall
