The Shed Notebook: National Poetry Month: Daffodils

As I took a walk through our gardens today I was reminded how much I love daffodils. They are the brightest and hardiest sign of spring. These are some of my favorite daffodil bouquet images.

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. 

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.
