POEM CARDS

The Sandman   childrens song lyric

From out of the west where the sun goes hiding

From island to island he comes astriding

Babblewack sleep, babblewack take care, beware

for sandman has dust of the sea in his hair............................................... 

In Their Own Season            Song Lyric

Oh the rasping of the corncrake

and the slapping of the harness

In their own season may not come again

Because we have reaped a bitter harvest

Of  calling bird and work of men..................................................
