Daffodils, Poetry and Scripture

After the icing of Feb 26th, it was hard to find flowers that survived but these lovely Daffodils are blooming in our field. 

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.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. 

~William Wordsworth

For, lo, the winter is past, 
the rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth; t
he time of the singing of birds is come, 
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, 
and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. 
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Song of Solomon 2:11-13

 Truth shall spring out of the earth; 
and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; 
and our land shall yield her increase.

Righteousness shall go before him; a
nd shall set us in the way of his steps.

Psalm 85:11-13

Have a blessed day in the LORD!
