DEDICATED TO DAISY.
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.

To maids alone and children are revealed:
What though no credit doubting wits may give,
The fair and innocent shall still believe."
