William Allingham – Daffodil

19th March 2014

SAM_1745

Daffodil

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.

William Allingham
