Here is another poem about daffodils, using the old-fashioned and hilarious name daffodowndillies. It was written by AA Milne (1882-1956), most famous as the creator of Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the 100 Acre Wood.
While Wordsworth’s poem was quite personal, Milne’s is a personification – which makes the flower seem like a woman dressing up for spring.
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.”
