THREE children sliding on the ice Upon a summer's day, As it fell out they all fell in, The rest they ran away. Now, had these children been at home, Or sliding on dry ground, Ten thousand pounds to one penny They had not all been drowned. You parents all that children have, And you too that have none, If you would have them safe abroad Pray keep them safe at home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHANGED WOMAN by LOUISE BOGAN THE INCORRIGIBLE DIRIGIBLE by HAYDEN CARRUTH GOOD-BYE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DEAF HOUSE AGENT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE BLACK MONKEY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
