To Daisies, Not To Shut So Soon

Title:     To Daisies, Not To Shut So Soon
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not as yet begun
To make a seizure on the light,
Or to seal up the sun.

No marigolds yet closed are,
No shadows great appear;
Nor doth the early shepherds' star
Shine like a spangle here.

Stay but till my Julia close
Her life-begetting eye;
And let the whole world then dispose
Itself to live or die.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: To Daisies, Not To Shut So Soon
