Daffodowndilly by A. A. Milne
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.”
We’re big Winne-the-Pooh fans here. If you don’t also know A.A. Milne as a poet, you should check out his collections for kids; Now We are Six and When We Were Very Young. Both my boys enjoyed reading the poems over and over again even at a very early age. Last year in first grade, John memorized two Milne poems, Daffodowndilly and The End. These poems are definite classics that stand the test of time.
my favorite poem !
My AA Milne education is lacking! I had never read Winnie the Pooh until I read it to my girls a few years ago and LOVED it. This poem is perfect, too! Thanks for sharing!
