Who doubts all doubt, and takes the soul on trust.


III.
THE DAISY.

See where it stands, the world-appointed flower,

Pure gold at centre, like the sun at noon,—

A mimic sun to light a true-love bower

For fair Queen Mab, now dead or in a swoon,

Whom late a poet saw beneath the moon.

It lifts its dainty face till sunset hour,

As if endowed with nympholeptic power,—
