Show DAFFODILS. Daffodils! O Daffodils, Dancing in the grass ! . Be ye fairy regiments Prancing as I pass? Each one with his wirtle green. Helmet deep and yellow, And a sword of silver sheen What a prettv fellow ! Daffodils! O Daffodils. Swaying in the wind! Once my heart was light as yours ; Love was soft and kind. In those dear, dread far-off davs When I gaily went. Singing1 through life's flowery ways. Ere my youth was spent. Daffodils! O Daffodils. Smiling in the sun! Once I too had golden hours Ere my love kad gone. Xow my days are dark and sad- Gone the heart of gold Xever again may I be glad Since the world's grown old. Daffodils! O Daffodils. Weeping in the rain! Know ye too adversity? Feel ye also pain? Ah, bend down his grace above:. Sorrowing o'er his head. Here it is that sleeps my love. Here my heart lies dead. Xora O'Mahony in Irish Monthly. |
