Explore "Poems: SONNET -- TO A DAISY" by Alice Meynell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Slight as thou art, thou art enough to hide, / Like all created things, secrets from me, / And stand a barrier to eternity. / And I, how can I praise thee well and wide?
From where I dwell -- upon the hither side? / Thou little veil for so great mystery, / When shall I penetrate all things and thee, / And then look back? For this I must abide,
Till thou shalt grow and fold and be unfurled / Literally between me and the world. / Then I shall drink from in beneath a spring,
And from a poet's side shall read his book. / O daisy mine, what will it be to look / From God's side even of such a simple thing?
