I LOVE IT, DON'T YOU?, by                    
First Line: On a stem that is slender and tall there grows
Last Line: I love it, don't you?
Subject(s): Flowers


On a stem that is slender and tall there grows
A flower that bends to the breeze as it blows.
Its fleecy white face is turned toward the sky,
And the gold of the sun reflects in its eye.

In the glen of the fairies pray search -- if you will --
By mountain, in woodland, near soft singing rill,
But nothing that grows can ever compare
To the simple wild daisy so stately and fair.

A blossom so perfect, a blossom so fair,
It blooms in the meadow with never a care,
It welcomes the sunbeams, the raindrops and dew,
And nods in the starlight --
I love it, don't you?
