I’d like to analyze a poem that was written by a famous English poet William Wordsworth “Daffodils”.

Death has always been a controversial topic with two sides always battling with each other. The side that says that death is a terrible stage in life that take people that you love away. Or the side that believes that death is just a resting period between this world and the afterlife. The poems "On My First Son" by Ben Jonson and "Death Be Not Proud" by John Donne are perfect examples of those two arguing sides.

realization that beauty is not going to stay forever. In his poem ‘To Daffodils’‚ the poet Robert Herrick begins by saying that we grieve to see the beautiful daffodils being wasted away very quickly. The duration of their gloom is so short that it seems even the rising sun still hasn’t reached the noon-time. Thus‚ in the very beginning the poet has struck a note of mourning at the fast dying of daffodils.
