Pray do not pick the daffodils
Their life has just begun,
Oh let them live as nature meant,
Stood dancing ‘neath the sun
Nor pluck the roses from their stems
For they will wilt and die
Oh leave them ling’ring in the earth
To grow wherein they lie
Each leaf, each bloom, each blade of grass
Belongs to mother earth
Pray do not take them from the soil
Do not destroy their birth
wat a noble thought.....unfortunately not all think this way and ultimately the beautiful flowers get plucked to be decorated on their own tables
A great poem, it reminds me of my grandma, she used to hate seeing cut flowers. She always said they should be left to grow.
