For Every Daisy I Will Think of You

To my grandma who loved dandelions more than daisies, but we gave them to you anyway and you accepted with a smile.

Daisy Timeby

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.
