Kate Greenaway Town Poems
- 1. On The Wall Top
Dancing and prancing to town we go,
On the top of the wall of the town we go.
Shall we talk to the stars, or talk to the moon,
Or run along home to our dinner so soon?
... - 2. Tip-a-toe
Tip-a-Toe,
See them go;
One, two, three
Chloe, Prue, and me;
... - 3. Under Rose Arches
Under Rose Arches to Rose Town
Rose Town on the top of the hill;
For the Summer wind blows and music goes,
And the violins sound shrill.
... - 4. The Little Jumping Girls.
Jump jump jump
Jump away
From this town into
The next, to-day.
... - 5. 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.
