Raindrops on Daffodils

Pretty are the yellow bulbs,
          yearning to the sky,
Their eyes filled with sweet toxicity,
Nonetheless, they cry.

The warm, bright flower's golden face,
          it yearns for a pretty lie.
For even as her wish is made,
The rain falls from the sky.

The flower bright and beautiful,
         Warm and light to eyes,
Weeps into the thundering storm-
For it shall hide her cries.

This is bitter, Nature,
          for the rain will shower still,
Shall tears roll down my face again,
Or as raindrops on daffodils?
