THE DAFFODIL by FAIRFAX DOWNEY

First Line: SHE WORE ONE DAY A YELLOW HAT
Last Line: "I RATHER LIKE THE LINE."
Subject(s): BEAUTY; DAFFODILS;
She wore one day a yellow hat;
Along with it her greenest gown;
And when her best beau came to call,
She curtsied, sinking down.
He said, "You're like a daffodil
On which the sunbeams shine."
She answered, "Though that's sort of sill,
I rather like the line."
