Vases of daffodils graced all my rooms,
Those wonderful, cheerful and colourful blooms,
Bunches of which in the shops every year
Some time in February start to appear.
As one of the cheapest of flowers to be found
They’re perfect for buying and spreading around
Every room in the flat, so wherever one looks
On tables and sideboards and out of way nooks
All sorts of vases will quickly be seen
Topped with large splashes of yellow and green.
But after some weeks there at last comes the day
Usually some time as one moves into May
When daffodils cannot be found any more
In markets or sold in a much larger store.
They’re finished until once again they’ll appear
When February comes in the following year
