WAIFS by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: BETWEEN THE ROAD AND GARDEN BED
Last Line: AND BORE IT HOME TRIUMPHANTLY—AH, THEN, IT KNEW AT LAST!
Subject(s): DAISIES; FLOWERS; GARDENS & GARDENING; SEPTEMBER;

BETWEEN the road and garden bed a straggling daisy grew,
But whether weed or flower it was, it never really knew;
Until one day a city waif with pallid features passed,
And bore it home triumphantly—ah, then, it knew at last!
