THE FIELD DAISY by JANE TAYLOR

First Line: I'M A PRETTY LITTLE THING
Last Line: "SURELY WINTER'S GONE AWAY."
Subject(s): DAISIES; FLOWERS;
I'M a pretty little thing,
Always coming with the spring;
In the meadows green I'm found,
Peeping just above the ground,
And my stalk is cover'd flat
With a white and yellow hat.

Little Mary, when you pass
Lightly o'er the tender grass,
Skip about, but do not tread
On my bright but lowly head,
For I always seem to say,
"Surely winter's gone away."
