THE DAISY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: With little white leaves
Last Line: And I am the star of day.
Alternate Author Name(s): Rennell, 1st Baron
Subject(s): Daisies; Flowers


WITH little white leaves in the grasses,
Spread wide for the smile of the sun,
It waits till the daylight passes
And closes them one by one.

I have asked why it closed at even,
And I know what it wished to say:
There are stars all night in the heaven,
And I am the star of day.
