Where frolic breezes play
Through woods, Ger hills, round bowld-
erS, too,
Whose lichened sides are gray.
happy spot. Its joys still fling
Their spell Ger me, and oh
oft in my dreams I'm wandering
Where the daisies blow.
Along the pastures moss grown wall
| watch the chipmunks run;
To me the wild red raspberries call
Ripening in the sun;
There's scent Of mint and wintergreen
Where'er my footsteps go:
And white and gold to crown the scene
Where the daisies blow
While seated at my desk today,
And like slave I'm bound
When kindly fancy would ARRAY
The citys sullen sound.
No CLEAN of heaven my spirit thrills,
A dearer wish l know
To lie an hour amid the hills
Where the daisies blow.
