JACK and Jill Went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down, And broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Then up Jack got, And home did trot, As fast as he could caper; To old Dame Dob, Who patched his nob With vinegar and brown paper. When Jill came in, How she did grin To see Jack's paper plaster; Her mother, vexed, Did whip her next, For laughing at Jack's disaster. Now Jack did laugh And Jill did cry, But her tears did soon abate; Then Jill did say, That they should play At see-saw across the gate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADAM AND HIS FATHER by KAREN SWENSON THE EARLY MORNING by HILAIRE BELLOC THE VALLEY'S SINGING DAY by ROBERT FROST THE PAST IS THE PRESENT by MARIANNE MOORE MACGREGOR'S GATHERING by WALTER SCOTT THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY THE BIRDS: THE HOOPOE'S CALL TO HIS WIFE PROCNE, THE NIGHTINGALE by ARISTOPHANES |
