-A Beautiful English Nature Poem for Kids
The dawn has not yet broken —
What’s the crow up
to now?
Where has the
rooster gone?
The crow caws over
there,
The rooster crows
right here!
Where’s the sparrow
flown away?
And where’s our
cuckoo too?
The sparrow chirps
from far,
The cuckoo sings so
near!
The dawn has not yet
broken (twice).
Where has the dog
wandered off?
And where does the
fox hide?
The fox howls loud
afar,
The dog barks here
nearby.
Where’s the lion
gone to roam?
And what’s the cow
now doing?
The lion roars out
there,
The cow moos sadly
here.
The dawn has not yet
broken (twice).
Where has the owl
disappeared?
Why does the night
still cry?
A lizard whispers
something low,
A snake hisses close
by.
Has the horse not
yet neighed?
Has the donkey
stayed quiet?
Where has the duck
drifted to?
It sleeps,
forgetting to quack.
The dawn has not yet
broken (twice).
Where’s the parrot
flown away?
What’s the mouse now
plotting?
One parrot talks
from yonder,
Another coos from
here.
Then comes the mouse
sneaking in —
Stops halfway,
squeaking loud!
Squeak… squeak…
squeak…
The dawn has not yet
broken (twice).
