In a big quarrelsome house like ours

They try it sometimes, but no,

I root them up because they're my flowers

Which nobody else may grow.

Claire has a tea-rose, but she didn't plant it;

Ben has an iris, but I don't want it.

Daisies, double red daisies for me,

The beautifullest flowers in the garden.

Double red daisy, that's my mark:

I paint it in all my books.
