Kate Greenaway Pretty Poems
- 1. The Little London Girl
In my little Green House, quite content am I,
When the hot sun pours down from the sky;
For oh, I love the country the beautiful country.
Who'd live in a London street when there's the country?
... - 2. Little Phillis
I am a very little girl,
I think that I've turned two;
And if you'd like to know my name
I'd like to tell it you.
... - 3. On The Bridge
If I could see a little fish
That is what I just now wish!
I want to see his great round eyes
Always open in surprise.
... - 4. Happy Days.
"Are you going next week to see Phillis and Phoebe?
Phillis on Monday will be just fourteen.
She says we shall all have our tea in the garden,
And afterwards have some nice games on the green.
... - 5. My Little Girlie.
Little girlie tell to me
What your wistful blue eyes see?
Why you like to stand so high,
Looking at the far off sky.
... - 6. The Wedding Bells.
The Wedding Bells were ringing,
And Monday was the day,
And all the little ladies
Were there so fresh and gay.
... - 7. Little Girls And Little Lambs.
In the May-time flowers grow;
Little girls in meadows go;
Little lambs frisk with delight,
And in the green grass sleep at night.
... - 8. The Four Princesses.
Four Princesses lived in a Green Tower
A Bright Green Tower in the middle of the sea;
And no one could think oh, no one could think
Who the Four Princesses could be.
... - 9. To Baby.
Oh, what shall my blue eyes go see?
Shall it be pretty Quack-Quack to-day?
Or the Peacock upon the Yew Tree?
Or the dear little white Lambs at play?
...
