Behold the sky without a CLOUD, Let clement air caress the HILLS, As then was I who eyed a CROWD, A dale of dainty DAFFODILS: Before the beach, beyond the TREES, Beckoning to me with the BREEZE
An auric acre of awesome SHINE In matrix like the milky WAY, A burst of beauty, none in LINE With sea of sun along the BAY: No way could I but give a GLANCE, Winking and wagging in dainty DANCE.
How like the waves, these posies, THEY will bow and bid in sharing GLEE: What words would fail to gush with GAY In green and yellow COMPANY: I stood amazed, without a THOUGHT And then thanked God for what He BROUGHT.
And now, as I'm abed and LIE With peace and piety, my MOOD' I see them with my mindful EYE who join me in my SOLITUDE; Then once again my mem'ry FILLS and I'm amongst those DAFFODILS.
