    Over in the meadow,
        In the sand, in the sun,
    Lived an old mother toad
        And her little toadie one.
    "Wink!" said the mother;
        "I wink," said the one;
    So she winked and she blinked
        In the sand, in the sun.

    Over in the meadow,
        Where the stream runs blue,
    Lived an old mother fish
        And her little fishes two.
    "Swim!" said the mother;
        "We swim," said the two;
    So they swam and they leaped
        Where the stream runs blue.

    Over in the meadow,
        In a hole in a tree,
    Lived a mother bluebird
        And her little birdies three.
    "Sing!" said the mother;
        "We sing," said the three;
    So they sang and were glad
        In the hole in the tree.

    Over in the meadow,
        In a snug beehive,
    Lived a mother honeybee
        And her little honeys five.
    "Buzz!" said the mother;
        "We buzz," said the five;
    So they buzzed and they hummed
        In the snug beehive.

    Over in the meadow,
        Where the clear pools shine,
    Lived a green mother frog,
        And her little froggies nine.
    "Croak!" said the mother;
        "We croak," said the nine;
    So they croaked and they splashed
        Where the clear pools shine.

    Over in the meadow,
        In a sly little den,
    Lived a gray mother spider
        And her little spiders ten.
    "Spin!" said the mother;
        "We spin," said the ten;
    So they spun lace webs
        In their sly little den.

  3. 62. Fierce Adventures

    • By Annette Wynne

    Famous Poem

    "Fierce Adventures" by Annette Wynne is a delightful poem that captures the imaginative world of a young boy and girl as they embark on daring escapades in their play. Through vivid imagery and playful language, the poet portrays a castle, pirate boat, and robbers, highlighting the excitement and creativity of childhood. The poem celebrates the joy of make-believe and the magic of turning ordinary objects into extraordinary elements of thrilling quests.

    Between the bookcase and the wall
    'Is raised a castle, gray and tall,
    The desk top is a wooden moat,
    The rocking chair's a pirate boat,—
    My little boy, turned six to-day,
    Has fierce adventures in his play.

    My little maid goes venturing, too,
    O bold grim robbers—what a crew!
    She helps to take the gold—but then
    She hurries back to home again
    For she must set the things for tea
    With beautiful house-wifery.

    The table's set upon the floor,
        The pirate marches in,
    And eats and eats and asks for more
        With true piratic din.

    O ye who never knew the life
    Of dragon-hunting, golden strife
    Of pirates on a windy sea
    Returning meekly home for tea;
    Who never heard the black knight's call—
    I fear ye have not lived at all!
