SCHOOL'S OUT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: GIRLS SCREAM
Last Line: WELCOME.
Subject(s): SCHOOLS; STUDENTS;

Girls scream,
Boys shout;
Dogs bark,
School's out.

Cats run,
Horses shy;
Into trees
Birds fly.

Babes wake
Open-eyed;
If they can,
Tramps hide.

Old man,
Hobble home;
Merry mites,
Welcome.
