Portrait of a Daffodil

Bending, bending in the field, the narcissus breaks his delicate stem for a glance.
He glances down at the only thing that he concurrently worships and defiles.
The narcissus is too perfect for heaven to take him, lest the angels indulge in jealousy.
Thus, he bends, he breaks, to glance at the one beauty he sees:
A reflection.
