ON GAZING OVER A FIELD OF DAISIES by KENNETH DEAROLF

First Line: HERE I STAND ON THE EDGE OF THE SPRING
Last Line: STILL HOLD ME IN MY HEART.
Subject(s): DAISIES; FLOWERS;

Here I stand on the edge of the spring
Gazing over into summer,
While between,
The fields of petaled daisies
Delay me on the scene.

Can it be
Their brilliant whites and yellows
Flashing through the fields
In little swells and billows
To the boarder of the trees?

A crusade of daisies!
Little children bearing banners
White and waving on the breeze.

Perhaps it is their haughty air,
So tall and fair,
And set with white and yellow gems
On slender stems.

However,
Spring advances into summer and they depart,
But the fields of petaled daisies
Still hold me in my heart.
