daffodil quotes

  • Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; Maud And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the rose is blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves On a bed of daffodil sky.

    -Tennyson
      Maud, pt.1, sect.22, stanza1, l.850^9.

  • When the face of night is fair on the dewy downs, And the shining daffodil dies.

    -Tennyson
      Maud, pt.3, sect.6, stanza1, l.5^6.
