Poem

Where is Anne?

Head above the buttercups,

Walking by the stream,

Down among the buttercups.

Where is Anne?

Walking with her man,

Lost in a dream,

Lost among the buttercups.

What has she got in that little brown head?

Wonderful thoughts which can never be said.

What has she got in that firm little fist of hers?

Somebody's thumb, and it feels like Christopher's.

Where is Anne?

Close to her man.

Brown head, gold head,

In and out the buttercups.

Poem 

Buttercups and daisies,

⁠Oh, the pretty flowers,

Coming ere the springtime,

⁠To tell of sunny hours.

While the trees are leafless,

⁠While the fields are bare,

Buttercups and daisies

⁠Spring up here and there.

Ere the snowdrop peepeth,

⁠Ere the crocus bold,

Were the early primrose

⁠Opes its paly gold,

Somewhere on the sunny bank

⁠Buttercups are bright;

Somewhere 'among the frozen grass

⁠Peeps the daisy white.

Little hardy flowers,

⁠Like to children poor,

Playing in their sturdy health

⁠By their mother's door,

Purple with the north wind,

⁠Yet alert and bold;

Fearing not, and caring not,

⁠Though they are a-cold!

What to them is winter!

⁠What are stormy showers!

Buttercups and daisies

⁠Are these human flowers!

He who gave them hardships

⁠And a life of care,

Gave them likewise hardy strength

⁠And patient hearts to bear.

Poem

Your petals are so fine

So fragile in the morning sun

How brightly you shine!

Off to face my busy day

And now a cheery fellow

Above you first I’ll hold my chin

To turn the petals yellow!
