I´m everyones darling; the blackbird and starling
Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs
For I, the lent lily, the Daffy-down-dilly,
Have heard through the country the call to arouse.
The orchards are ringing with voices a singing a
praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown;
the children are playing and hark!
They are saying
That Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town!

~Cicely Mary Barker
