#PoetryMatters - Daffodils:
To Daffodils
by Robert Herrick

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day
Has run
But to the even-song;
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.
👇🏽

Nute We have short time to stay, as you,
We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you, or anything.
We die
As your hours do, and dry
Away,
Like to the summer's rain;
Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
Ne'er to be found again.

Nute It sure is a challenge to find another poem about daffodils besides I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud which happens to be one of my favorite poems, but success has been obtained with Robert Herrick. This is a sweet reminder that life is short —> give your lovely self in all your glory to those you love and the world with a sense of urgency. Humankind will benefit.💕 4y

Nute @TrishB My search kept bringing me back to Wordsworth. However, I knew that there was another Daffodil Poem that I liked. I was excited when it finally came to me. I was also surprised about how many poems folks found when I read the thread here on Litsy. I love the way that we share...♥️ LITSY! 4y
