Daisies

At evening

When I go to bed,

I see the stars

Shine overhead;

They are

The little daisies white

That dot

The meadows of the night.


And often

When I'm dreaming so,

Across the sky

The moon will go;

It is a lady

Sweet and fair,

Who comes

To gather daisies there.


For when at morning

I arise,

There's not a star

Left in the skies;

She's picked them all

And dropped them down

Into the meadows

Of the town.
