| 174. The Daisies |
| |
| By James Stephens |
| |
| |
| IN THE scented bud of the morning—O, | |
| When the windy grass went rippling far, | |
| I saw my dear one walking slow, | |
| In the field where the daisies are. | |
| |
| We did not laugh and we did not speak | 5 |
| As we wandered happily to and fro; | |
| I kissed my dear on either cheek, | |
| In the bud of the morning—O. | |
| |
| A lark sang up from the breezy land, | |
| A lark sang down from a cloud afar, | 10 |
| And she and I went hand in hand | |
| In the field where the daisies are. | |
