Dialectic Journal Week 14

I'm using and excerpt from the poem "To Daffodils" by Robert Herrick

Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon:
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attained his noon.
Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day
Has run
But to the evensong,
And, having prayed together, we
Will go with you along.

First of all, I choose this poem because I love daffodils~  they're so pretty. : )
This poem has a bunch of metaphors in it, all throughout.  like "Until the hasting day has run" and others.
I think this poem is really pretty, it triggers the images in your head really well. : )

  1. Don't tell me that the images do something; show me, and then analyze how they do it.
