MOTION SONG DAISY FAIR. 



HAVE you heard the song of the daisy fair? 

 Oh, the daisy fair, she has not a care ; 

 A sweet little face has daisy fair, 



She's smiling all the day. 



Now see her buds peep, where the grasses wave, 

 Where the grasses wave, the grasses wave, 

 Now see her buds peep, where the grasses wave, 

 This way above her head. 



CHORUS. 



Oh, the heads of nodding clover, 

 Oh, the boughs that sway above her, 

 Oh, the butterflies dancing over, 

 Love the daisy fair. 



Now her bright eyes open to the sun ; 

 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, what fun ! 

 Now daisy's play time has begun ; 



Gay little daisy fair. 

 Our daisy always moves with grace 

 While she bends this way, this way, this way. 

 She looks the bright sun in the face ; 



Brave little daisy fair. 



CHORUS. 



At morn she turns her head this way, 

 For she loves the sun, the sun, they say, 

 And watches for its first bright ray ; 



Wise little daisy fair. 

 At noon she smiles up at the sky, 

 Tra la la la la la la la la, 

 While the sun smiles back from his place so high: 



Happy daisy fair. 



CHORUS. 



When the earth is dry beneath her feet, 

 Lowly droops her head in the blinding heat. 

 She clasps her fingers, hear how sweet 



Daisy breathes a prayer. 



Come, pretty white cloud, pray send the rain, 

 Send rain, the rain, the rain, the rain, 

 O pretty white cloud, I pray send rain 



That I may bloom again. 



CHORUS.
