It is not growing like a tree
In bulk doth make Man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night—
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures life may perfect be.
It is not growing like a tree
In bulk doth make Man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night—
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures life may perfect be

.: thru my imperfect underst :.
i think the poem is about the temporariness of every beautiful thing. a human being does not neccessarily needs to have a long lasting life in order to see and enjoy the beuties of life. One can find beauty even in common trivial things around. It is your view point toward whatever you see which matters not the things which are already before your eyes.
