National Poetry Month is Here Again!

Hello, and Happy April! Today is the first day of National Poetry Month 2018, and I have a lovely springtime poem to share with you, written by Robert Herrick.


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 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.

(I bought my first bundle of daffodils of the season just the other day, and they were like a bouquet of sunshine on my coffee table. What a happy sight to see when I came in the door each day!)

Stop in again tommorow for another poem as Ellie wanders her way through National Poetry Month!
