To Daffodils


Fair daffodils, we weep to see

You haste away so soon;

As yet the early-rising sun

Has not attained his noon.


Stay, stay

Until the hasting day

Has run

But to the evensong;


And, having prayed together, we

Will go with you along.

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.
 
(Robert Herrick, 1591-1674)

I'm finishing up several petite daffodil pillows tomorrow. I'll be back Friday with more photos of them.
