For Wordsworth

As winter fades
We welcome spring.
It bursts upon the stage to bring
New life, new hope
Amidst the showers
That gently bathe the newborn flowers.
The first of which
Is certain still
To be the golden daffodil.

Perfect!

"The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life ... The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!" – John Burroughs
