Alan Alexander Milne Poems

In a corner of the bedroom is a great big curtain,
Someone lives behind it, but I don't know who;
I think it is a Brownie, but I'm not quite certain.
(Nanny isn't certain, too.)
...

When Anne and I go out a walk,
We hold each other's hand and talk
Of all the things we mean to do
When Anne and I are forty-two.
...

When the sun
Shines through the leaves of the apple-tree,
When the sun
Makes shadows of the leaves of the apple-tree,

I found a little beetle; so that Beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.
I put him in a match-box, and I kept him all the day ...
And Nanny let my beetle out -

Lords of the Nursery
Wait in a row,
Five on the high wall,
And four on the low;
...

I met a Man as I went walking:
We got talking,
Man and I.
'Where are you going to, Man?' I said
...

Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
...

These are my two drops of rain
Waiting on the window-pane.
I am waiting here to see
Which the winning one will be.
...

Jonathan Jo
Has a mouth like an 'O'
And a wheelbarrow full of surprises;
If you ask for a bat,
...

Christopher Robin
Had wheezles
And sneezles,
They bundled him
