Pattie
Arthur Symons
1865 to 1945
Cool comely country Pattie, grown
A daisy where the daisies grow,
No wind of heaven has ever blown
Across a field-flower’s daintier snow.
Gold-white among the meadow-grass
The humble little daisies thrive;
I cannot see them as I pass,
But I am glad to be alive.
And so I turn where Pattie stands,
A flower among the flowers at play;
I’ll lay my heart into her hands,
And she will smile the clouds away.
Arthur Symons's Pattie
I am busy working to bring Arthur Symons's "Pattie" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Arthur Symons's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Pattie" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
