Sweet bunch of dai - sies,
Oh, how dear to me.
Oft -I hear them
Whis - p'ring love of thee.
Mur - mur - ing soft - ly
In si - lent theme
Of love's bright mom - ing,
Now one sad, sweet dream.
Sweet bunch of dai - sies,
Brought from the dell;
Kiss me one, dar - ling
Dai - sies won't tell.
Give me your prom - ise
Oh- sweet-heart do
Dar - ling, I love you
Won't you be true?
