Daffodil and Daisy.
Adorned in many a gem this morn,
A daffodil without a peer,
I reared my head, and treat with scorn
A one-pearl-gifted daisy near.
A daffodil without a peer,
I reared my head, and treat with scorn
A one-pearl-gifted daisy near.
That very hour, lo! wind-a-rock'd,
Was I left gemless evermore;
Nay, made to envy what I'd mock'd,
That one sweet pearl the daisy wore.
Was I left gemless evermore;
Nay, made to envy what I'd mock'd,
That one sweet pearl the daisy wore.
