Little girls, little flowers, little daffodils

Play in the street

Running and jumping and dancing

And laughing and screaming and running

They pay no mind to their surroundings

They run and jump and dance

They laugh and scream and run

Too busy to notice when a car comes

They don’t hear the noise

They just hear their own voice

As the engine roars

The car comes towards

The little daffodils are deaf to the car

And as it comes speeding along

They sing their final song

The deaf daffodils

Wither too soon after bloom
