The Daisy
F. Price
Little Peg-a-Ramsey
With the yellow hair,
Double ruff about her neck
And ne'er a frock to wear,
Opens to the sunbeam,
Curtsies to the bee,
Dances when the bobolink
Awakes the world with glee.
Little Peg-a-Ramsey,
Say, before you close,
Do you ever droop your head
And wish you were a rose?
Little Peg-a-Ramsey
Nodding in the wheat,
Could it make you prettier
To call you "Marguerite"?
