See, the grass is full of stars,
Fallen in their brightness;
Hearts they have of shining gold,
Rays of shining whiteness.
Buttercups have honeyed hearts,
Bees they love the clover,
But I love the daisies’ dance
All the meadow over.
Blow, O blow, you happy winds,
Singing summer’s praises,
Up the field and down the field
A-dancing with the daisies.
From Little Songs: A Book of Poems (McClelland and Stewart)

Marjorie Pickthall (1883-1922) wrote several hundred short stories, five novels, and several books of poetry. Born in London, she moved to Canada as a child and achieved success as a writer while still in school. A feminist before her time, she was devoted to her family but worked, at various times, as a librarian, ambulance driver, and farm laborer.
