Katherine Mansfield (Кэтрин Мэнсфилд)

A Joyful Song of Five

Come, let us all sing very high
And all sing very loud
And keep on singing in the street
Until there’s quite a crowd;

And keep on singing in the house
And up and down the stairs;
Then underneath the furniture
Let’s all play Polar bears;

And crawl about with doormats on,
And growl and howl and squeak,
Then in the garden let us fly
And play at hid and seek;

And ”Here we gather Nuts and May,”
”I wrote a Letter” too,
”Here we go round the Mulberry Bush,”
”The Child who lost its shoe”;

And every game we ever played.
And then--to stay alive--
Let’s end with lots of Birthday Cake
Because to-day you’re five.

1. The Awakening River
2. The Gulf
3. A Little Boy's Dream
4. The Family
5. On a Young Lady’s Sixth Anniversary
