Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words).
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attain’d his noon. Stay, stay, Until the hasting day Has run But to the even-song; And, having pray’d together we Will go with you along. We have short time to stay, as you We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die As your hours do, and dry Away, Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.
To Daffodils by Robert Herrick
Answer : The theme of the poem is the transience of human life like daffodil flowers. The daffodils fade away even before the midday sun arrives. Likewise, human life is also transient. And like the pearls of morning dew, a lost life is never found again.
