| The verse reads "Know you the Daisy Queen, Marguerite, with golden hair? In all the world, Queen, Was never a Queen so fair. She reigns in Summer land, She sits on a golden throne, With a sceptre in her hand, And a sweetness all her own. At heart the queen is gay, And glad as a little child, She loves to dance and play, And sport with breezes mild. Marguerite, so fair and fine, With a wave of her tiny hand, Decrees a Valentine, To every child in the land. E.S.F." For a similar Valentine without fringe, see Image ID: 81209. |
