A NURSERY HOUR, by ANNE LINDSAY Poet's Biography First Line: Up and down, up and down Last Line: Baby sleeps upon my knee. Alternate Author Name(s): Barnard, Lady Anne | |||
Up and down, up and down, Baby's riding on my knee, Crumpling up my silken gown In her glee, in her glee; Striking with her rosy fists, Striving with her tiny wrists. Trot my nag, trot my nag, Baby rides more gently now; All her ardor seems to lag Lay her low, lay her low. Let her steed unbridled be, Baby sleeps upon my knee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EAST COAST LULLABY by ANNE LINDSAY MY HEART IS A LUTE by ANNE LINDSAY SONNET (SUGGESTED BY MR.
