Daffodowndilly

by A. A. Milne
From When We Were Very Young (1924)

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
    She wore her greenest gown;
  She turned to the south wind
    And curtsied up and down.
  She turned to the sunlight
    And shook her yellow head,
  And whispered to her neighbour:
    “Winter is dead.”
