Oldal 17 [17]
Was it Jenny Wren you asked,
Or little Tom-tit ?
Was it Yellow Hammer's wing
First suggested it ?

Who told you that a yellow dress
Wi
olden hair would fit ?
“Jenny Wrens too sober
To think of such a thine ;
Tom enlivens yellow
With a dark Blut wing —
How could common birds know
The fashions of the Spring!"
Or was it your Canary said
(Dainty little fellow),
" Pretty maiden, follow me,
And*dress a//in yellow’?
“Yes, it was Canary,
Clever little fellow !”’
Yellow on her feet,
Yellow on her hair,
Yellow on her dainty dress,
Yellow everywhere ;
Yellow as-the Daffodils,
