Daisy Time
by
Marjorie Pickthall

  
 

See, the grass is full of stars, 
Fallen in their brightness; 
Hearts they have of shining gold, 
Rays of shining whiteness. 
Buttercups have honeyed hearts, 
Bees they love the clover, 
But I love the daisies’ dance 
All the meadow over. 
Blow, O blow, you happy winds, 
Singing summer’s praises, 
Up the field and down the field 
A-dancing with the daisies.

Marjorie Pickthall (1883-1922) wrote several hundred short stories, five novels, and several books of poetry. Born in London, she moved to Canada as a child and achieved success as a writer while still in school. A feminist before her time, she was devoted to her family but worked, at various times, as a librarian, ambulance driver, and farm laborer.
