THE DAISY FOLLOWS SOFT THE SUN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Night's possibility!
Subject(s): Daisies; Sun; Love


The Daisy follows soft the Sun -
And when his golden walk is done -
Sits shily at his feet -
He - waking - finds the flower there -
Wherefore - Marauder - art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!

We are the Flower - Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline -
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West -
The peace - the flight - the amethyst -
Night's possibility!
