Versos English Ella Flagg Young Playgrounds

English poem

Playgrounds

by (1845–1918)

Listen in the reader

In summer I am very glad We children are so small, For we can see a thousand things That men can't see at all.

They don't know much about the moss And all the stones they pass; They never lie and play among The forests in the grass;

But when the snow is on the ground, And all the puddles freeze, I wish that I were very tall, High up above the trees.
