To Daffodils
By Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

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 any thing.
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.
