Once the daisy was a star,
And it fell from heaven far,
Just because it wished to grow
Where a little child would go.

So, in all the sunny places
Daisies lift their laughing faces
At the coming of your feet,
Just because they love you, sweet!

Once the violet dripped throughout
From a little rift of blue 
In the skies, upon the grass
Just to see you as you pass.

So in all the shady places 
Violets lift up their faces 
Through the mosses and the dew,
Just because they think of you.

Once a buttercup splashed down
From a sunbeam's golden crown,
Just because it wished to shine
For this little child of mine.

So, in meadowgrasses growing,
Buttercups are always glowing 
Where the little children play,
Just to light them on their way.
