Serene and cold: I lay
My lips upon your trodden, daisied grass,
And turn my life away.
On some far summer sea,
Wakes daisies in the wintry earth,
Wakes hopes in wintry me.
The lifted eyes of trust;
The green looks up from the April ways,
The daisy from the dust.
The daisies bright and gay,
That scatter their snowy blossoms
LIke a lower milky way.
I flung it into Yarrow,
An doon the stream wi' heavy heart
I cam' wi' my sweet marrow.
The wind from morn till even,
Forever shepherd you across
The shining field of heaven.
