Daisies



 Over the shoulders and slopes of the dune

I saw white daisies go down to the sea,

A host in the sunshine, an army in June,

The people God sends to set our hearts free.


Daisies By The Sea
(2013)
Renee Lammers


The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell,

The orioles whistled them out of the wood;

And all of their singing was, "Earth, it is well!"

And all of their dancing was, "Life, thou art good!"


"Daisies"
From "Songs of Vagabondia"
(1894)
William Bliss Carman
