THE DAISY FOLLOWS SOFT THE SUN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Night's possibility!
Subject(s): DAISIES; SUN; LOVE;

The Daisy follows soft the Sun -
And when his golden walk is done -
Sits shily at his feet -
He - waking - finds the flower there -
Wherefore - Marauder - art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!

We are the Flower - Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline -
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West -
The peace - the flight - the amethyst -
Night's possibility!
