Daisy

I plucked the petals

From a daisy,

And all the while

I said your name.

Until from that flower

No more petals came.

I sat all afternoon

Enjoying my little game.

And the more I

Thought of you

Not even the

Hot summer’s sun

Could my wild curiosity tame.

But when one’s thoughts

Are of one such as you,

Can I hardly

Be held to blame?

I plucked the petals

From a daisy,

And all the while

I said your name.

Until through the

Evening’s cloud and mist

My true love to me came.
