Read "Wild Asters" by Sara Teasdale. What is the syllable count of the poem's two stanzas?

In the spring I asked the daisies

If his words were true,

And the clever, clear-eyed daisies

Always knew.

Now the fields are brown and barren,

Bitter autumn blows,

And of all the stupid asters

Not one knows.
