Daffodil's Return

What matter if the sun be lost?
What matter though the sky be gray?
There 's joy enough about the house,
For Daffodil comes home to-day.

There 's news of swallows on the air,
There 's word of April on the way,
They 're calling flowers within the street,
And Daffodil comes home to-day.

O who would care what fate may bring,
Or what the years may take away!
There 's life enough within the hour,
For Daffodil comes home to-day.
