DAFFODIL AND DAISY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Deck'd in many gems of morn
Last Line: That one sweet pearl the daisy wore.
Subject(s): Daffodils; Daisies; Flowers


Deck'd in many gems of morn,
A daffodil without a peer,
I reared my head, and treat with scorn
A one-pearl-gifted daisy near.

That very hour, lo! wind-rock'd
Was I left gemless evermore;
Nay, made to envy what I'd mock'd,
That one sweet pearl the daisy wore.
