Dearer to me than the evening star
A Packard car
A Hershey bar
Or a bride in her rich adorning
Dearer than any of these by far
Is to lie in bed in the morning.

Jean Kerr (1922–2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]

Essay (1957), “Introduction,” Please Don’t Eat the Daisies
