I saw today a few brave daffodils,
Faces down toward the sodden grassy
Woodland patch, . I gently lifted up still
Youthful bloom and gazed within. Fantastic
Early blaze of Spring looked back. Meeting
Both my awestruck eyes and soul, it's plea bid
Me enter deep into this flowers' greeting.
Yellows, conjured from the winters' soil undid
Their secret opulence and shone, lighting
Up surrounding gloom with brightest glowing
Song of something new. Bursting so they might
Transform the day of any who felt low.
I shall take a later walk, to the sea
Of yellow soon to blossom there for me.
