This document provides an analysis of the poem "To Daffodils" by Robert Herrick. It discusses that Herrick was an Anglican priest and published his poetry collection Hesperides in 1648. The poem compares the short life of daffodils to humans, using the flowers as a symbol of our own temporary existence. It explores the central theme of carpe diem, or seizing the day, as nothing lasts forever, whether the flowers or our lives. Nature is presented as always changing and transitory.
