In the smallest flower-bed
Double Daisy lifts his head,
With a smile to greet the sun,
You, and me, and everyone.

Crimson Daisy, now I see
You're the little lad for me!

THE SONG OF THE DAISY FAIRY

Come to me and play with me,
I'm the babies' flower;
Make a necklace gay with me,
Spend the whole long day with me,
Till the sunset hour.

I must say Good-night, you know,
Till to-morrow's playtime;
Close my petals tight, you know,
Shut the red and white, you know,
Sleeping till the daytime.
