The Daisy

Title:     The Daisy
Author: Rennell Rodd [More Titles by Rodd]

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.

1881.
