On the lid of the basket, in a conspicuous place, is a silver plate, saying, in beautiful old English letters, "To Ian Somerled, from his grateful model," and underneath a monogram "M. M." in the raised heart of an elaborate marguerite.
"The Heather-Moon"
C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson
The lily by thy margin waits;- The nightingale, the marguerite; In shadow here he meditates His nest, his love, his music sweet.
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The burden of his song is "Si douce est la marguerite:" he has learnt the ways of French gallantry as if to the manner born, and thus becomes, as it were without hesitation or effort, the first English love-poet.
"Chaucer"
Adolphus William Ward
