Sweet maid. Behold
How glorious within
Her heart of gold!
Be like the Daisy,
In shine or shade,
In summer or winter,
Courageous maid!
In shine or shade,
In summer or winter,
Courageous maid!
Be like the Daisy,
Simple and true,
Looking straight upward,
Up to the blue.
Simple and true,
Looking straight upward,
Up to the blue.
Lift thy head buoyantly
After the rain,
After adversity
Spring up again!
After the rain,
After adversity
Spring up again!
Seek not pre-eminence,
Look not for praise;
Safe and most blessèd
Are humbler ways.
Look not for praise;
Safe and most blessèd
Are humbler ways.
From lowly sisters
Dwell not apart,
Keep through all splendour
Thy Daisy heart.
Dwell not apart,
Keep through all splendour
Thy Daisy heart.
When in heaven's garden
Thy leaves unfold,
Thine be white raiment—
A crown of gold!
Thy leaves unfold,
Thine be white raiment—
A crown of gold!
