sometimes,for me daisy is a charming flower ,so this is a sweet poetry about daisy,only a little part. Written by Francis Thompson

Oh, there were flowers in Storrington

    On the turf and on the spray;

But the sweetest flower on Sussex hills

    Was the Daisy-flower that day!

  
Her beauty smoothed earth's furrowed face.
    She gave me tokens three:—

A look, a word of her winsome mouth,

    And a wild raspberry.

  
A berry red, a guileless look,

    A still word,—strings of sand!
And yet they made my wild, wild heart

    Fly down to her little hand.

  
For standing artless as the air,

    And candid as the skies,

She took the berries with her hand,
    And the love with her sweet eyes.

  
The fairest things have fleetest end,

    Their scent survives their close:

But the rose's scent is bitterness

    To him that loved the rose.
