A Song For Two Children Poem by Robert Graves
A Song For Two Children
'Make a song, father, a new little song,
All for Jenny and Nancy.'
Balow lalow or Hey derry down,
Or else what might you fancy?
Is there any song sweet enough
For Nancy and for Jenny?
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
'Indeed I know not any.'
'I've counted the miles to Babylon,
I've flown the earth like a bird,
I've ridden cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
But no such song have I heard.'
'Some speak of Alexander,
And some of Hercules,
But where are there any like Nancy and Jenny,
Where are there any like these?'
Some speak of Alexander, And some of Hercules, But where are there any like Nancy and Jenny, Where are there any like these? ' - - - - - - - Children are invaluable.They are beyond and above Alexander, for in them are the seeds of many Alexanders, Shakespears or Newtons.Yes, they deserve sweetest songs and be brought up with love and care.A wonderful poem chosen as Poem of the Day.
Sweet enough! ! To bring them joy. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
I liked this, as I often write little bits for my children, but also like to write in the same way as some of the old favourites. A clever way to bring both togehter- thank you for sharing x
A beautifully envisioned children song composed to make Nancy and Jenny. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.
2) CONGRATULATIONS to the family in the UK of the Great Poet ROBERT GRAVES for this honour from Poem Hunter and Team. Mesmerizing poem, children are the future of the country, of the world! A poem to read time and again. Sweetest Song ever heard.
To the respected family of late poet Robert Graves, these words are straught from my heart: This poem is a sweetest Song ever sung, a most intelligent poem created. All Alexander and the more, all roads to Babylon and farther, all famous songs and poems, their basis are in children, since children is the furtile soil of the best fruit, all Shakespeare's and the rest start in children's soul and mind, like in A Song For Two Children
