## The words

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away  
so soon;  
As yet the earlyrising sun Has not attained  
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.
