They will have a place in story:

There's a flower that shall be mine;

'Tis the little Celandine。



Eyes of some men travel far

For the finding of a star;

Up and down the heavens they go;

Men that keep a mighty rout!

I'm as great as them; I trow;

Since the day I found thee out。

Little Flower! … I'll make a stir;

Like a sage astronomer。



Modest; yet withal an Elf

Bold; and lavish of thyself;

Since we needs must first have met;

I have seen thee; high and low;

Thirty years or more; and yet

'Twas a face I did not know;

Thou hast now; go where I may;

Fifty greetings in a day。



Ere a leaf is on a bush;

In the time before the thrush

Has a thought about her nest;

Thou wilt come with half a call;

Spreading out thy glossy breast

Like a careless Prodigal;

Telling tales about the sun;

When we've little warmth; or none。



Poets; vain men in their mood!

Travel with the multitude:

Never heed them; I aver

That they all are wanton wooers;

But the thrifty cottager;

Who stirs little out of doors;

Joys to spy thee near her home;

Spring is coming; Thou art come!



Comfort have thou of thy merit;

Kindly; unassuming Spirit!

Careless of thy neighborhood;

Thou dost show thy pleasant face

On the moor; and in the wood;

In the lane; … there's not a place;

Howsoever mean it be;

But 'tis good enough for thee。



Ill befall the yellow flowers;

Children of the flaring hours!

Buttercups; that will be seen;

Whether we will see or no;

Others; too; of lofty mien;

They have done as worldings do;

Taken praise that should be thine;

Little; humble Celandine!



Prophet of delight and mirth;

Ill…requited upon earth;

Herald of a mighty band;

Of a joyous train ensuing;

Serving at my heart's command;

Tasks that are no tasks renewing;

I will sing; as dost behove;

Hymns in praise of what I love!



William Wordsworth '1770…1850'





FOUR…LEAF CLOVER



I know a place where the sun is like gold; 

And the cherry blossoms burst with snow;

And down underneath is the loveliest nook;

Where the four…leaf clovers grow。



One leaf is for hope; and one is for faith;

And one is for love; you know;

And God put another in for luck; …

If you search; you will find where they grow。



But you must have hope; and you must have faith;

You must love and be strong … and so;

If you work; if you wait; you will find the place

Where the four…leaf clovers grow。



Ella Higginson '1862…





SWEET CLOVER



Within what weeks the melilot

Gave forth its fragrance; I; a lad;

Or never knew or quite forgot;

Save that 'twas while the year is glad。



Now know I that in bright July

It blossoms; and the perfume fine

Brings back my boyhood; until I

Am steeped in memory as with wine。



Now know I that the whole year long;

Though Winter chills or Summer cheers;

It writes along the weeks its song;

Even as my youth sings through my years。



Wallace Rice '1859…





〃I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD〃



I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills;

When all at once I saw a crowd;

A host; of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake; beneath the trees;

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze。



Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle in the milky way;

They stretched in never…ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance;

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance。



The waves beside them danced; but they

Out…did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay;

In such a jocund company:

I gazed … and gazed … but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:



For oft; when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood;

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills;

And dances with the daffodils。



William Wordsworth '1770…1850'





TO DAFFODILS



Fair Daffodils; we weep to see

You haste away so soon;

As yet the early…rising sun

Has not attained his noon。

Stay; stay;

Until the hasting day

Has run

But to the even…song;

And; having prayed together; we

Will go with you along。



We have short time to stay as you;

We have as short a spring;

As quick a growth to meet decay;

As you; or any thing。

We die

As your hours do; and dry

Away;

Like to the summer's rain;

Or as the pearls of morning's dew;

Ne'er to be found again。



Robert Herrick '1591…1674'





TO A MOUNTAIN DAISY

On Turing One Down With The Plough; In April 1786



Wee; modest; crimson…tipped flower;

Thou's met me in an evil hour;

For I maun crush amang the stoure

Thy slender stem:

To spare thee now is past my power;

Thou bonny gem。



Alas! it's no thy neibor sweet;

The bonny lark; companion meet;

Bending thee 'mang the dewy weet;

Wi' speckled breast;

When upward…springing; blithe; to greet

The purpling east!



Cauld blew the bitter…biting north

Upon thy early; humble birth;

Yet cheerfully thou glinted forth

Amid the storm;

Scarce reared above the parent earth

Thy tender form。



The flaunting flowers our gardens yield

High sheltering woods and wa's maun shield;

But thou; beneath the random bield

O' clod; or stane;

Adorns the histie stibble…fleld;

Unseen; alane。



There; in thy scanty mantle clad;

Thy snawie bosom sunward spread;

Thou lifts thy unassuming head

In humble guise;

But now the share uptears thy bed;

And low thou lies!



Such is the fate of artless maid;

Sweet floweret of the rural shade!

By love's simplicity betrayed;

And guileless trust;

Till she; like thee; all soiled; is laid

Low i' the dust。



Such is the fate of simple bard;

On life's rough ocean luckless starred!

Unskillful he to note the card

Of prudent lore;

Till billows rage; and gales blow hard;

And whelm him o'er!



Such fate to suffering worth is given;

Who long with wants and woes has striven;

By human pride or cunning driven

To misery's brink;

Till; wrenched of every stay but Heaven;

He; ruined; sink!



Even thou who mourn'st the Daisy's fate;

That fate is thine … no distant date;

Stern Ruin's ploughshare drives; elate;

Full on thy bloom;

Till crushed beneath the furrow's weight

Shall be thy doom。



Robert Burns '1759…1796'





A FIELD FLOWER



There is a flower; a little flower

With silver crest and golden eye;

That welcomes every changing hour;

And weathers every sky。



The prouder beauties of the field

In gay but quick succession shine;

Race after race their honors yield;

They flourish and decline。



But this small flower; to Nature dear;

While moons and stars their courses run;

Wreathes the whole circle of the year;

Companion of the Sun。



It smiles upon the lap of May;

To sultry August spreads its charms;

Lights pale October on his way;

And twines December's arms。



The purple heath and golden broom

On moory mountains catch the gale;

O'er lawns the lily sheds perfume;

The violet in the vale。



But this bold floweret climbs the hill;

Hides in the forest; haunts the glen;

Plays on the margin of the rill;

Peeps round the fox's den。



Within the garden's cultured round

It shares the sweet carnation's bed;

And blooms on consecrated ground

In honor of the dead。



The lambkin crops its crimson gem;

The wild bee murmurs on its breast;

The blue…fly bends its pensile stem

Light o'er the skylark's nest。



'Tis Flora's page; … in every place;

In every season; fresh and fair;

It opens with perennial grace;

And blossoms everywhere。



On waste and woodland; rock and plain;

Its humble buds unheeded rise;

The Rose has but a summer reign;

The Daisy never dies!



James Montgomery '1771…1854'





TO DAISIES; NOT TO SHUT SO SOON



Shut not so soon; the dull…eyed night

Has not as yet begun

To make a seizure on the light;

Or to seal up the sun。



No marigolds yet closed are;

No shadows great appear;

Nor doth the early shepherd's star

Shine like a spangle here。



Stay but till my Julia close

Her life…begetting eye;

And let the whole world then dispose

Itself to live or die。



Robert Herrick '1591…1674'





DAISIES



Over the shoulders and slopes of the dune

I saw the white daisies go down to the sea;

A host in the sunshine; an army in June;

The people God sends us to set our heart free。



The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell;

The orioles whistled them out of the wood;

And all of their saying was; 〃Earth; it is well!〃

And all of their dancing was; 〃Life; thou art good!〃



Bliss Carman '1861…1929'





TO THE DAISY



With little here to do or see

Of things that in the great world be;

Daisy! again I talk to thee;

For thou art worthy:

Thou unassuming common…place

Of Nature; with that homely face;

And yet with something of a grace;

Which love makes for thee!



Oft on the dappled turf at ease;

I sit; and play with similes;

Loose types of things through all degrees;

Thoughts of thy raising:

And many a fond and idle name

I give to thee; for praise or blame;

As is the humor of the game;

While I am gazing。



A nun demure; of lowly port;

Or sprightly maiden of love's court;

In thy simplicity the sport

Of all temptations;

A queen in crown of rubies dressed

A starveling in a scanty vest;

Are all; as seem to suit thee best;

Thy appellations。



A little Cyclops; with one eye

Staring to threaten and defy …

That thought comes next … and instantly

The freak is over。

The shape will vanish; … and behold!

A silver shield with boss of gold;

That spreads itself; some fairy bold

In fight to cover。



I see thee glittering from afar; …

And then thou art a pretty star;

Not quite so fair as many are

In heaven above thee!
