The Dandelion
A dandelion yellow as gold,
What do you do all day?
I just wait here in the tall green grass
Till the children come to play.
A dandelion yellow as gold,
What do you do all night?
I wait and wait till the cold dew falls
And my hair grows long and white.
And what do you do when your hair is white?
And the children come to play?
They take me up into their little hands
And blow my hair away.
Yours and mine.
The sun, the trees, the grass, the sky,
The silver moon that’s sailing by,
The rain and dew and snowflakes white,
The flowers sweet and stars of night!
The songs of birds, wind whispering,
The autumn leaves, the buds of spring-
Such lovely things to hear and see
Belong to you, belong to me!
A big rose
An ant has to walk almost an hour
To get to the top of a rose-bush flower
A grasshopper has to hop and hop
To get to that rose-bush top.
Even a bee has to fly.
To get up there because it’s high
But I can just stand there with my nose,
Right on top of a big red rose.
Eagles
Eagles strike and eagles seize
Eagles fly wherever they please.
They catch the wind and high they soar
They reach for life and reach for more.
We together schooled
Are eagles flown?
We reach to life
To find our own.
Strong winds we spread
To catch the winds.
Wherever we go
Let us stay friends.
Tails
The lion has a tail,
And a very fine tail.
And so has the elephant,
And so has the whale,
And so has the crocodile,
And so has the quai.l
They’ve all got tails, but me
If I had a sixpence
I would buy one.
I’d say to the shopman,
“Let me try one!”
Then I’d say to the lion
“Why you’ve got a tail,
And so has the elephant,
And so has the whale,
And look! There’s the crocodile
He’s got a tail
You’ve all got tails like me!”
My little dog
I’ll never hurt my little dog,
But stroke and pat his head
I like to see him wag his tail,
I like to see him fed.
No, I shall never hurt my dog,
And never treat him ill,
But treat him kindly every day,
And he will love me still.
