The Daisy (Bellis Perennis)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The \u201cDay\u2019s Eye\u201d blooms in father Chaucer\u2019s verse,
\nThrough all the centuries; in an inspired hour,
\nBurns sang the \u201cmodest, crimson, tipp\u00ead flower\u201d;
\nSweetly and brief as old Wither did rehearse
\nHow it does \u201cshut when Titan goes to bed;\u201d 5
\nWordsworth with mighty power, has hymn\u2019d its praise;
\nMontgomery i\u2019 the choicest of his lays,
\nTells \u201chow it never dies!\u201d Often it led
\nOur infant footsteps into rural lanes,
\nOr along by-paths rich with many a gem 10
\nFallen from Flora\u2019s glowing diadem,
\nTill health and happiness were e\u2019er our gains.
\nChildren are always poets: pity we
\nShould ever quench the sparks of po\u00ebsy.<\/p>\n

George Wither <\/b>(11 June 1588  \u2013 2 May 1667 .) was an English Emblemist poet, pamphleteer, and satirist. He was a prolific writer who adopted a deliberate plainness of style; he was several times imprisoned. C. V. Wedgwood wrote “every so often in the barren acres of his verse is a stretch enlivened by real wit and observation, or fired with a sudden intensity of feeling”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
