TEDDY and Jock and I play on a hill all day. Its top goes up to the sky And Teddy and Jock and I Are sometime going to climb so high We'll hear what the star-folk say! Just us can play on the hill—nobody else would dare!— Its feet slip into a lake, And some fine day we'll take Our luncheon of apples and Johnny-cake And see what it's like down there. There's a cave in the hill up there, so black it looks like blue! It hasn't ever an end— But some day we intend To go right in and around the bend— But it wouldn't be safe for you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CALIFORNIA SORROW: MOUNTAIN VIEW by MARY KINZIE CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOUNTAIN FASTNESS by HAYDEN CARRUTH GREEN MOUNTAIN IDYL by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU by HAYDEN CARRUTH A CHRISTMAS CHILD by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY |
