THE DAFFODIL
A' little daffodil came out,. " While chilly winds were blowing. With some dismay she looked about, For few green things were growing. ' Dear me ! ' said she ; ' 'tis sad to see * How very backward spring must be.' The rude wind smote her in the face, And nearly bent her .double. She 'This world's a dreadful place For fuss and noise and trouble. This rough wind now makes such a rowBut I'll keep blooming anyhow.'
A little maiden passed by chance, That chilly, windy weather. She spied the flower at a glance, ( And clapped her hands together. ' ' What splendid cheer ! ' she cried ; ' Oh, dear ! It's springtime," for the daffy's here.'
