NOW through the April land doth pass,
As through the slim, Sicilian grass,
The Vision of the Daffodils --
Persephone! Persephone!
And ever still Persephone!
This antique cry the weather fills.
It is the old mood of the spring,
A sweet and a heart-breaking thing --
The budding joy, the vanished good;
For, though we pluck the daffodils,
Or walk with laughter on the hills,
Yet go we empty through the wood!
