Ned RoremTo daisies, not to shut so soon Lyrics
Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not as yet begun
To make a seizure on the light
Or to seal up the sun
No marigolds yet closed are;
No shadows great appear;
Nor doth the early shepherds' star
Shine like a spangle here
Stay but till my Julia close
Her life-begetting eye
And let the whole world then dispose
Itself to live or die
To daisies, not to shut so soon Q&A
