Buttercups and Daisies
BUTTERCUPS and daisies stand amid the grass,
Lifting their bright faces to greet us as we pass ;
Beckoning and nodding, soon as we appear;
Waving us a welcome while we linger near.
Buttercups and daisies, blossoms gold and
white ;
Lighting gloomy places, making earth so
bright;
Spangling all the meadows, climbing all the
hills,
Crowding on the margin of the little rills.
Many are the subjects of Queen Flora's reign;
Many are the handmaids following in her
train;
But of all the flowerets blooming far and near,
Can you tell of any that are held more dear?
Trying to find poem which starts:
I know a field, where in the spring, a myriad of buttercups dance and sing.
Can you help please ?

Hi Patrick, I am not familiar with that poem but if I come across it in my old book travels I will let you know! Do you have any idea when it might have been published?
