English poem
Buttercups and Daisies
by Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
O the pretty flowers! Coming ere the spring-time, To tell of sunny hours. When the trees are leafless; When the fields are bare; Buttercups and daisies Spring up here and there.
Welcome, yellow buttercups! Welcome, daisies white! Ye are in my spirit Vision’d, a delight! Coming ere the spring-time, Of sunny hours to tell— Speaking to our hearts of Him Who doeth all things well.
