Perhaps you’d like to buy a flower?

---

Perhaps you’d like to buy a flower?

But I could never sell.

If you would like to borrow

Until the daffodil

---

Unties her yellow bonnet

Beneath the village door,

Until the bees, from clover rows

Their hock and sherry draw,

---

Why, I will lend until just then,

But not an hour more!
