LITTLE FOLKS IN THE GRASS, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: In the grass / a thousand little people pass Last Line: Through the grass! Subject(s): Children; May (month); Childhood | ||||||||
IN the grass A thousand little people pass, And all about a myriad little eyes look out, For there are houses every side Where the little folks abide, Where the little folks take tea On a grass blade near a tree; Where they hold their Sabbath meetings, Pass each other, giving greetings, So remember when you pass Through the grass; Little folks are everywhere; Walk quite softly, take great care Lest you hurt them unaware, Lest the giant that is YOU Pull a house down with his shoe, Pull a house down, roof and all, Killing children, great and small; So the wee eyes look at you As you walk the meadows through, So remember when you pass Through the grass! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE THE POET AT SEVEN by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
