Here's another, Rhuby...
TO DAFFODILS
by Robert Herrick
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attain'd his noon. Stay, stay, Until the hasting day Has run But to the even-song; And, having pray'd together, we Will go with you along.
We have short time to stay, as you, We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die As your hours do, and dry Away, Like to the summer's rain; Or as the pearls of morning's dew, Ne'er to be found again.

An interesting theory that Dorothy's playing nursemaid to a couple selfish males prevented her from achieving her apparent poetic potential.But I think there is something deeper: an unwarrantedly poor self-image that kept her from realizing that potential fully or finding romance and and a life of her own.:
