Poem by Kate Greenaway

Child’s Song

The King and the Queen were riding
	Upon a Summer’s day,
And a Blackbird flew above them
	To hear what they did say.

The King said he likes apples,
	The Queen said she likes pears.
And what shall we do to the Blackbird
	Who listens unawares.

1. Up You Go, Shuttlecocks, Ever So High!
2. Now, All of You, Give Heed unto
3. It Was Tommy Who Said
4. Street Show
5. The Little Jumping Girls
