Poem by Kate Greenaway

The Little Jumping Girls

Jump – jump – jump –
	Jump away
From this town into
	The next, today.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Jump over the moon;
Jump all the morning
	And all the noon.

Jump – jump – jump –
	Jump all night;
Won’t our mothers
	Be in a fright?

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Over the sea;
What wonderful wonders
	We shall see.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	And leave behind
Everything evil
	That we may find.

Jump – jump – jump – 
	Jump far away;
And all come home
	Some other day.

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. Child’s Song
