SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 95, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Boats sail on the rivers
Last Line: Is prettier far than these.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina

Subject(s): Clouds


BOATS sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.
