TO THE DAISY.
Daisy! I welcome thy " we« modest" bloom, Eight glad am J to view thy cheery -face, Thy sprightly form, so neat and full of grace, - So pertly peeping from thy wintry tomb. How fresh thou art ! Among the soft green grass Looking so bright .and saucy, without fear '•Of being cropped by lambkins feeding near. And '.there I see tiiee nestling as I ,pass, And stoop to pick thee from thy tender stem, .But stay my hand, Thou art so sweet, so g*yi IPII .let thee Jive throughout thy little •day, And d«ck the :meadow with thy tiny gem. I thank our great Creator, God, for thee, 'JThou speck of beauty on ihe lea.
