First Line: If daffodils were merely yellow flowers

Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway

IF daffodils were merely yellow flowers,
It would not hurt my heart to see them grow --
But ah, they speak to me of April hours
And gardened mornings now so long ago.

For daffodils are memory and token
Of vanished days too tender to be sung,
Before a single happy dream was broken
In my love's gentle heart when she was young.
