About this book
Daisy Dare, and Baby Power is a book of poems by Rosa Vertner Jeffrey. The volume is inscribed to Mrs. Margaret Wickliffe Preston, of Lexington, Kentucky, whom the author calls a dear friend. The opening lines place Daisy Dare in scented meadows, where meek-eyed kine graze on summer days, as she sweeps along at early morn, sparkling, graceful, passing fair.
Graham Lee tells Daisy that he sails to-day for India, with Captain Gray, and asks whether she will be upon the strand to say farewell and wave her hand. The reply, in a proud tone with a cheek turned pale, is that she will go to see him sail, having promised to be there to say a parting word to Allen Gray. The verse says strong natures suffer more than those who, bowing down, parade their woes for a brief season, and then rise.
