Herrick’s “to daffodils” is a revival of the genre carpe diem. This genre’s message is that life is short, and world is beautiful, love is splendid and we must use the short time we live to make the most of it. This is shown in the words “haste”, “run”, “short” and “quick

The poet symbolically refers to the youth as spring in these lines.I feel that the real objecive of this poem was not to insight an idea of youthful death. This is because the average daffodil life can be seen to be longer than a human life. If you refering to their flowering pattern then it can be seen that the Average flowering span of a daffodil can range from 6 weeks to 6 months. After blooming the daffodil plant rebuilds its bulb. This is something very complexed and would take much concentration to do, something that a young person would find difficulty in exercising.
From this i think its clear to say that the death of the daffodil does not represent a true loss in adolescent life. I feel that the poem is trying to exert a pure sorrow of death as opposed to the loss of young life. I feel that it is trying to challenge the real roots of human life. To explore the extent to which we take our lives with as much importance as others. The daffodil is a plant that germinates its seeds in order to create bulbs for new life. If we look at how we help to produce new life we can only see that our own ways of producing life only seeks to benefit us.
The poems of Robert Herrick contain such freshness livelyness which can be feel whenever someone read it. And the musucality and rythm please yous ears with melody. His another unique quality is his poems are often addressed to someone or something as To Daffodils or To anthea etc.
The way the author describes the daffodils are all adjectives of happiness. The man also realizes while watching the daffodils that the only real happiness that you can get, comes from the natural world and cannot be achieved by wealth. The Man finds happiness at home alone when he is dreaming because dreaming is the greatest happiness in being alone. This happines fills the void in the man’s heart, and he is as happy as the daffodils.
