Yes, it is! its a translation of first stanza of daffodils. By wiki, daffodils is Narcissus plant which means 'sleep' in greek. I just looked for an attractive translation of 'sleep' and spokensanskrit has nandImukhI as a synonym. I don't know whether if it is right, and I couldn't find the exact sanskrit equivalent of daffodils either.
