Daffy-down-Dilly
Has come to town
With a yellow petticoat
And a pretty green gown
Daffy-down-Dilly
– Nathaniel Hawthorn
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
– William Wordsworth

Great poetry selections to match the photos.
When I was a kid in school we memorized Wordsworth.
It has been a favorite spring-time poem all these years.
Have a great week-end!
