The Daisy follows soft the Sun by Emily Dickinson

The Daisy follows soft the Sun --
And when his golden walk is done --
Sits shyly at his feet --
He -- waking -- finds the flower there --
Wherefore -- Marauder -- art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!

We are the Flower -- Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline --
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West --
The peace -- the flight -- the Amethyst --
Night's possibility!

     I believe Dickinson is trying to convey that the Daisy is the people of the world and the Sun is God. We follow God throughout our lives. It could also be interpreted literally as flowers blooming as the sun comes up in the east and following the sun till it sets in the west.
