THE DAISY.
BY J. MASON GOOD.
Not worlds on worlds, in phalanx deep
Need we to prove a God is here;
The daisy, fresh from nature's sleep,
Tells of his hand in lines as clear.
For who but He who arch'd the skies
And pours the day spring's living flood,
Wondrous alike in all he tries
Could raise the daisy's purple bud—
Mould its green cup, its wiry stem,
Its fringed border nicely spin,
And cut the gilded vassal gem
That, set in silver, gleams within—
And fling it, unrestrain'd and free,
O'er hill and dale and desert sod,
That man where'er he walks may see
In every step the stamp of God.
