Daffodil

Andy Lyle 1951 (Londonderry)

Sound your trumpet loud oh Daffodil
So all around can hear
Cover green with golden quilt
To show that spring is here

Fill our hearts with hopes of Sun
To warm us to our core
Enrich our lives with petals gold
Heralding spring with winter o'er

Your golden flutes play to our hearts
As we gaze upon your spread
Slowly swaying in the wind
In reverence your bowed head

We too our heads we need to bow
And thank Him for our sight
To look upon you Daffodil
Is to remind us of His might
