Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night <br />Has not as yet begun <br />To make a seizure on the light, <br />Or to seal up the sun. <br /> <br />No marigolds yet closed are, <br />No shadows great appear; <br />Nor doth the early shepherds' star <br />Shine like a spangle here. <br /> <br />Stay but till my Julia close <br />Her life-begetting eye; <br />And let the whole world then dispose <br />Itself to live or die.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-daisies-not-to-shut-so-soon/
