All fresh with daisies and with rye,

And something purer, brighter, breathes

Than the mere tints of earth and sky.

Her dainty head with grace is poised,

And 'neath her hat-brim's shade I see

The soft, dark eyes, the pure child-face

That hold so much of joy for me!

Her feet, as loath to tread the bloom

Of flowers and of field-grass bright,

Fall lightly as she maketh way
