Hail to the King of Bethlehem, 

 Who weareth in his diadem 

 The yellow crocus for the gem 

 Of his authority! 



LONGFELLOW: Christus. 



Fair daffadills, we weep to see 



You haste away so soone ; 

 As yet the early-rising sun 



Has not attained its noone. 



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. 



HEBRICK: Daffadills.
