Daffodils by Frederick St. John Lacy — Lyrics

Frederick St. John Lacy English Secular Partsongs Staff notation

Full Lyrics

Fair daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the earlyrising sun Has not attain’d his noon. Stay, stay Until the hasting day Has run But to the evensong; And, having pray’d together, we Will go with you along. We have short time to stay, as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die As your hours do, and dry Away Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.
