DAFFODILS, by                    
First Line: When I return from far away
Last Line: A halo in the april sun.
Subject(s): Daffodils; Spring


When I return from far away,
From distant lands where death is king,
I pray that it may be a day
In Spring;
A day when skies are soft and bright
Above the slopes of kindly hills,
And everywhere the daffodils
Give lavishly their golden light.

I'm tired of guns and mud and noise
And many a dark, unmentioned thing;
I long to taste again the joys
Of Spring.
I picture you, beloved one,
Beside your garden's tender rills,
Your hair, gold like the daffodils,
A halo in the April sun.
