Alan Alexander Milne Wind Poems
- 1. Wind On The Hill
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
... - 2. Daffodowndilly
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
... - 3. Spring Morning
Where am I going? I don't quite know.
Down to the stream where the king-cups grow-
Up on the hill where the pine-trees blow-
Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
... - 4. Water Lilies
Where the water-lilies go
To and fro,
Rocking in the ripples of the water,
Lazy on a leaf lies the Lake King's daugher,
... - 5. The Mirror
Between the woods the afternoon
Its fallen in a golden swoon,
The sun looks down from quiet skies
To where a quiet water lies,
... - 6. Forgotten
Lords of the Nursery
Wait in a row,
Five on the high wall,
And four on the low;
... - 7. Come Out With Me
There's sun on the river and sun on the hill . . .
You can hear the sea if you stand quite still!
There's eight new puppies at Roundabout Farm-
And I saw an old sailor with only one arm!
