O’er the latest daisied tomb.

Solemn curfew of our childhood,

Closing each day with a sigh,

Ringing through our peaceful slumbers

Like a tender lullaby!

Daisied meadows of our childhood,

Once a battle-field of pain!

Ah, we never dreamed of dolor

As we weaved our daisy-chain!

Shining river of our childhood,
