In reading a book about flowers I found that the Daffodil was involved in a Welsh legend of the Elyited Field, or Field of the dead. It said that the flower once covered the ground of this such place and is now used in funerals

The Rose of Elyited Field

A golden light, transcending sight
Of a guided soul in the Welsh moonlight
A golden bell, its chime to tell
To blanket the soul that fell

A sky of storm, the walls have worn
A land unseen and yet to form
Through a carpet of gold, a wind blows cold
Asleep yet awakened, the tales to be told

A box of dark guild, 'low the midday build
A bed in the ground still yet to be filled
A cover of gold, o're a body of old
Not quilt but only a fold

A bell to chime, til the end of time
The pleading cries of a frozen mime
A pain to be healed, through a golden shield
The rose of Elyited Field

I dont usually comment, but I just had to say I like this poem a lot, it makes me want to turn all the lights off, light a candle, and just relax....that's the best way I can describe how this poem makes me feel.

It is so beautiful. For some reason it makes me think of Tolkien. You should write some for the red book...
