Buttercups and daisies—

O the pretty flowers!

Coming ere the spring-time,

To tell of sunny hours.

When the trees are leafless;

When the fields are bare;

Buttercups and daisies

Spring up here and there.

Welcome, yellow buttercups!Welcome, daisies white!Ye are in my spiritVision’d, a delight!Coming ere the spring-time,Of sunny hours to tell—Speaking to our hearts of HimWho doeth all things well.

Welcome, yellow buttercups!

Welcome, daisies white!

Ye are in my spirit

Vision’d, a delight!

Coming ere the spring-time,

Of sunny hours to tell—

Speaking to our hearts of Him

Who doeth all things well.
