from The Island of Statues
Come forth: the morn is fair; as from the pyre
Of sad Queen Dido shone the lapping fire
Unto the wanderers' ships, or as day fills
The brazen sky, so blaze the daffodils;
As Argive Clytemnestra saw out-burn
The flagrant signal of her lord's return,
Unto the wanderers' ships, or as day fills
The brazen sky, so blaze the daffodils;
As Argive Clytemnestra saw out-burn
The flagrant signal of her lord's return,
Afar, clear-shining on the herald hills,
In vale and dell so blaze the daffodils;
As when upon her cloud-o'er-muffled steep
Œnone saw the fires of Troia leap,
And laugh'd, so, so along the bubbling rills
As when upon her cloud-o'er-muffled steep
Œnone saw the fires of Troia leap,
And laugh'd, so, so along the bubbling rills
In lemon-tinted lines, so blaze the daffodils.
Come forth, come forth, my music flows for thee,
A quenchless grieving of love melody.
A quenchless grieving of love melody.
– W.B. Yeats (1885)
