A DAISY
It is a daisy
That has fifteen petals,
Groups of three by three
With bluish underside,
And toward the sunlight,
Extended, wide open,
It directs its energy.
And from afternoon on,
When the shade begins,
The flower starts folding up
Closed by the night.
Nature. A marvel. Without a lesson.
Jorge Guillén
