Yes, I will miss the daffodils I When April brushes distant hills With vibrant green, and all the earth I Is warm and moist for its rebirth; I I'll miss the garden I had known, The butterflies will all have flown, The evening star, the rind of moon Shall ail be lost to me too soon; The birdsong from the nearest tree, The countless miracles to see On any common day all year I shall not touch or see or hear. Oh. while there's time make me aware Of life I shall no longer share. Viney Endicott
