2.8 Стихи для выразительного чтения и заучивания наизусть

[i:]

1. A Cradle Song by William Blake

Sleep, sleep, beauty bright

Dreaming o'er the joys of night

Sleep, sleep: in the sleep

Little sorrows sit and weep.

2. Every Time I Climb a Tree by David McCord

Every time I climb a tree

Every time I climb a tree

Every time I climb a tree

I scrape a leg

On skin a knee

And every time I climb a tree

I find some ants

Or dodge a bee

And get the ants

All over me.

And every time I climb a tree

Where have you been?

They say to me

But don't they know that I am free

Every time I climb a tree?

For every time I climb a tree

I see a lot of things to see

Swallows, rooftops and TV

And all the fields and farms there be

Every time I climb a tree

Though climbing may be good for ants

It isn't awfully good for pants

But still it's pretty good for me

Every time I climb a tree.

[a:]

3. The Telephone by Alfred H. Miles

Friends a hundred miles apart

Sit and chatter heart to heart,

Boys and girls from school afar

Speak to mother, ask papa.

4. Heart of the Tree

by Henry Cayler Bunner

What does he plant who plants a tree?

He plants the friend of sun and sky,

He plants the flag of breezes free,

The shaft of beauty, towering high,

He plants a home to heaven anigh.

5. Limerick

There once was a lady from Guam

Who said, "Now the ocean's so calm

6. Balls

by Alfred H. Miles

And there are many other balls

We find at pleasure's source —

The croquet-ball, the hockey-ball.

The skittle-ball, lacrosse,

And smaller balls, the marble balls,

And bearing balls, of course.

The earth's a ball, on which we play,

With other balls in sight,

The ball of gold that plays by day,

The silver ball by night.

And all the stars, for what are they

But balls of golden light?
