Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon,
As yet the early rising sun
Has not attained its noon,
Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon,
As yet the early rising sun
Has not attained its noon;
Stay, stay until the hast'ning day,
The hast'ning day has run,
But to the evening song, the evening song,
Stay, stay until the day has run,
But to the evening song,
And having prayed together
We will go with you along,
And having prayed together
We will go, will go with you along.
