SINCE THERE IS ALWAYS POETRY

Since there is always poetry,
Since there is always song,
Why shouldn't I be satisfied
All the day long?

I will be satisfied;
But as for happiness,
That comes with Love alone,
I guess.

DAISY

I do not think that Daisy
Is envious of Orchid!
She lifts her cheery face
With confidence and pride.
A little gentle lady
Wore her to a party --
A little lovely lady,
Fur-voiced and tender-eyed.

The guests looked down on Daisy
With wondering amusement.
"My little common Daisy
Is innocent and pure,"
Gaily explained the lady;
"And thus would I be, too.
Prefer I Daisy's freshness
To Orchid's gaudy lure."

STAR LOVE

I have loved you long,
And long been true.
I have had no thought
Save thought of you.

But loving you is
Like loving a star.
Now I am tired
Of reaching so far.
