John Keats was an English Romantic poet known for his sensual imagery and series of odes. Today, his poems and letters are among the most popular and analyzed works in English literature. The poem "Daisy's Song" describes a daisy flower that sees more than the sun and moon. It says it leads the life of a king in the spring when it spies on pretty girls from its throne in the grass. Lambs bleat a lullaby for the daisy at night.

4. The sun, with his great eye,
Sees not so much as I;
And the moon, all silver-proud
Might as well be in a cloud.

5. And O the spring – the spring
I lead the life of a king!
Couch’d in the teeming grass,
I spy each pretty lass.

6. I look where no one dares,
And I stare where no one stares,
And when the night is nigh,
Lambs bleat my lullaby.
