TO DAISIES, NOT TO SHUT SO SOON
Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Hath not as yet begun
To make a seisure on the light,
No Marigolds yet closèd are;
No shadowes great appeare:
Nor doth the early Shepheard's Starre
Shine like a spangle here.
Stay but till my Julia close
Her life-begetting eye;
And let the whole world then dispose
It selfe to live or dye.
Robert Herrick
