Imagery

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see

You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun VISUAL
Has not attain'd his noon.
Imagery

Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day Kinesthetic
Has run
But to the even-song; Audiotory / Visual
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.
Imagery

We have short time to stay, as you,

We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
Visual
As you, or anything.
Imagery

We die
As your hours do, and dry Visual
Away,
Like to the summer's rain;
Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
Ne'er to be found again.
