William Allingham - DaffodilWilliam Allingham - Daffodil
Work rating: Low


    Gold tassel upon March`s bugle-horn,       Whose blithe reveille blows from hill to hill       And every valley rings--O Daffodil!     What promise for the season newly born?     Shall wave on wave of flow`rs, full tide of corn,       O`erflow the world, then fruited Autumn fill       Hedgerow and garth? Shall tempest, blight, or chill     Turn all felicity to scathe and scorn?     Tantarrara! the joyous Book of Spring       Lies open, writ in blossoms; not a bird       Of evil augury is seen or heard:     Come now, like Pan`s old crew, we`ll dance and sing,     Or Oberon`s: for hill and valley ring       To March`s bugle-horn,--Earth`s blood is stirred.
