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."
