Kate Greenaway Street Poems
- 1. Street Show
Puff, puff, puff. How the trumpets blow
All you little boys and girls come and see the show.
One--two--three, the Cat runs up the tree;
But the little Bird he flies away--
... - 2. 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?
... - 3. The Little Queen's Coming.
With Roses red Roses,
We'll pelt her with Roses,
And Lilies white Lilies we'll drop at her feet;
The little Queen's coming,
... - 4. When We Went Out With Grandmamma.
When we went out with Grandmamma--
Mamma said for a treat--
Oh, dear, how stiff we had to walk
As we went down the street.
... - 5. A Genteel Family.
Some children are so naughty,
And some are very good;
But the Genteel Family
Did always what it should.
