A poem by Laurence Alma-Tadema

Lonely Children

________________________________________________
Title:     Lonely Children
Author: Laurence Alma-Tadema [More Titles by Alma-Tadema]

I

The trees are dusty in the Park,
The grass is hard and brown;
I'm glad I've got a Noah's ark,
But I'm sorry I'm in town.

A lot of little girls and boys
Are not so rich as me;
But O! I'd give them all my toys
For shells beside the sea....


II

The flowers are happy in the garden,
For the bees are always there;
The clouds are happy up in Heaven
With the angels in the air;
But little boy and little mouse
Are rather lonely in the house.


[The end]
Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Lonely Children
