Explore "To Daisies, Not to Shut so Soon" by Alice Meynell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
SHUT not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Hath 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.
