Part 3 — TO DAISIES, NOT TO SHUT SO SOON
Reading edition
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 shepherd's 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.
Robert Herrick [1591-1674]
