Two lines that dress the daffodil up as Daffy-down-dilly in her yellow petticoat and green gown. A tiny rhyme for the earliest listeners, over almost as soon as it begins.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Daffy-down-dilly has come to town
In a yellow petticoat and a green gown.
