Growing In The Vale

Growing in the vale

By the uplands hilly,

Growing straight and frail,

Lady Daffadowndilly

Wild Daffodils Growing In The Vale

North York Moors National Park

 Farndale, England

In a golden crown,

And scant green gown

While the spring blows chilly,

Lady Daffadown,

Sweet Daffadowndilly.

"Growing In The Vale"
