Robert Graves - Double Red DaisiesRobert Graves - Double Red Daisies
Work rating: Low


Double red daisies, they’re my flowers,  Which nobody else may grow.   In a big quarrelsome house like ours    They try it sometimes—but no,   I root them up because they’re my flowers,  Which nobody else may grow.   Claire has a tea-rose, but she didn’t plant it;   Ben has an iris, but I don’t want it.   Daisies, double red daisies for me,   The beautifulest flowers in the garden.   Double red daisy, that’s my mark:    I paint it in all my books!   It’s carved high up on the beech-tree bark,    How neat and lovely it looks!   So don’t forget that it’s my trade mark;  Don’t copy it in your books.     Claire has a tea-rose, but she didn’t plant it;   Ben has an iris, but I don’t want it.   Daisies, double red daisies for me,   The beautifulest flowers in the garden.
