A BUNCH OF LENT LILIES
Here three Poets treat the same flower each from his own distinct and delightful point of view. To the first it appeals as the flower of courage, the brave early comer; to the second it is the early goer, the flower of a too swift departure—though daffodils really bloom for a fairly long time, as flowers go; the third is grateful for an imperishable recollection.
Daffodils
... Daffodils
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty.
Shakespeare.
