Shampoo Sally

Shampoo Sally

Washing her hair
Splashing soapsuds everywhere.

Soapsuds in the water,
Soapsuds in the air,
Soapsuds here and soapsuds there.

Shampoo Sally
Rinsing her hair,
Splashing water everywhere.

Water on the bath mat,
Water on the floor,
Water dripping down the bathroom door.

Shampoo Sally
Washing her hair,
Soapsuds and water everywhere.
Shampoo Sally doesn't care.

Three Little Kittens.

Автор:

Three little kittens,
They lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Котята:

Oh, Mother dear,
We greatly fear,
Our mittens we have lost.
Мама:

Lost your mittens,
You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.
Miew, miew, miew,
No, you shall have no pie.

Three little kittens,
They found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Котята:

Oh, Mother dear,
See here, see here,
Our mittens we have found.
Мама:
Found your mittens, you clever kittens,
Then you shall have some pie.
Purr, purr, purr,
Oh, let us have some pie.

Перчатки.

Потеряли котятки
На дороге перчатки
И в слезах прибежали домой:
- Мама, мама, прости,
Мы не можем найти,
Мы не можем найти
Перчатки!
- Потеряли перчатки?
Вот дурные котятки!
Я вам нынче не дам пирога.
Мяу-мяу, не дам,
Мяу-мяу, не дам,
Я вам нынче не дам пирога!
Побежали котятки, отыскали перчатки
И, смеясь, прибежали домой:
- Мама, мама, не злись,
Потому что нашлись,
Потому что нашлись
Перчатки!
- Отыскали перчатки?
Вот спасибо, котятки!
Я за это вам дам пирога.
Мур-мур-мур, пирога,
Мур-мур-мур, пирога,
Я за это вам дам пирога!

The Little Elf

I MET a little Elf-man, once,

Down where the lilies blow.

I asked him why he was so small

And why he didn't grow.

He slightly frowned, and with his eye

He looked me through and through.

'I 'm quite as big for me,' said he,

'As you are big for you.'

Francis William Bourdillon

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

The night has a thousand eyes,

And the day but one;

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,

And the heart but one;

Yet the light of a whole life dies

When love is done.

Ella Higginson

Four-Leaf Clover

I know a place where the sun is like gold,

And the cherry blooms burst with snow,

And down underneath is the loveliest nook,

Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,

And one is for love, you know,

And God put another in for luck, -

If you search, you will find where they grow.

But you must have hope, and you must have faith,

You must love and be strong - and so.

If you work, if you wait, you will find the place

Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

R.H. Stoddard

Birds

Birds are singing round my window,
Tunes the sweetest ever heard,
And I hang my cage there daily,
But I never catch a bird.

So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long:
But they will not fold their pinions
In the little cage of Song.

Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us you know!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Leroy F. Jackson

BUTTERFLY

Butterfly, butterfly,
Sit on my chin,
Your wings are like tinsel,
So yellow and thin.

Butterfly, butterfly,
Give me a kiss;
If you give me a dozen
There's nothing amiss.

Butterfly, butterfly,
Off to the flowers, -
Wee, soulless sprite
Of the long summer hours.

Love`s secret-William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love,

Love that never told can be;

For the gentle wind does move

Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,

I told her all my heart;

Trembling, cold, in ghasty fears,

Ah! She did depart!

Soon as she was gone from me,

A traveler came by,

Silently, invisibly

He took her with a sigh.
