To Daffodils
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 evensong,
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.
