Where the dead men lost their bones.

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

With the sunset blends.

The Daisy Follows Soft The Sun

The Daisy follows soft the Sun,
And when his golden walk is done,
Sits shyly at his feet.
He, waking, finds the flower near.
“Wherefore, marauder, art thou here?”
“Because, Sir, love is sweet!”

~ Emily Dickinson
