And oft, the long year through, the heir 
Of joys or sorrows, 
Methinks that there abides in thee 
Some concord with humanity, 
Given to no other flower I see 
The forest through.” 
And Montgomery seems to have a similar feeling with reference to 
the wide-spread abode of the plant, he says— 
“O’er waste and woodland, rock and plain, 
Its humble buds unheeded rise ; 
The Rose has but a summer reign— 
The Daisy never dies.” 
Mason Good elevates the little flower to exemplify the works and 
the presence of God in its construction— 
“Not worlds on worlds in phalanx deep, 
Need we to prove a God is here; 
The Daisy, fresh from winter's sleep, 
Tells of his hands in lines as clear. 
For who but He who arch’d the skies, 
And pours the day spring's living flood, 
Wonderous alike in all He tries, 
Could raise the Daisy’s purple bud : 
Mould its green cup, its wiry stem, 
Its fringed border nicely spin, 
And cut the gold embossed gem, 
That set in silver gleams within : 
And fling it unrestrained and free, 
O’er hill and dale, and desert sod, 
That man, where’er he walks may see 
In every step the stamp of God!”
