FOR GOOD LUCK, by JULIANA HORATIA GATTY EWING First Line: Little kings and queens of may Last Line: And a bit for the nixies and pixies! Subject(s): Luck | ||||||||
Little Kings and Queens of May, If you want to be, Every one of you, very good, In this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful wood, Where the little birds' heads get so turned with delight That some of them sing all night: Whatever you pluck, Leave some for good luck! Picked from the stalk or pulled by the root, From overhead or under foot, Water-wonders of pond or brook -- Wherever you look, And whatever you find, Leave something behind: Some for the Naiads, Some for the Dryads, And a bit for the Nixies and Pixies! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND THE FORTUNATE SPILL by MARILYN NELSON MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TODO by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE SOME SAY YOU'RE LUCKY by GREGORY ORR THE LIFE OF TOWNS: LUCK TOWN by ANNE CARSON OF MONEY by BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE DOLLY'S LULLABY by JULIANA HORATIA GATTY EWING |
