Next week at Swan Lane the children will be participating in the annual poetry recital. This year's theme is Summertime, and each class has been given a poem to learn off by heart. The poems have been chosen by Mr Batts.
We will be practising our poem every day in school so that we can be word-perfect on the day. It would be extremely helpful if the children could practise the poem at home too. A paper copy of the poem was sent home last week, but just in case it has gone astray, here it is:
Summer
Shower
by Emily Dickinson
A drop fell on the apple tree,
Another on the roof;
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,
And made the gables laugh.
A few went out to help the brook,
That went to help the sea.
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,
What necklaces could be!
The dust replaced in hoisted roads,
The birds’ jocoser sung;
The sunshine threw his hat away,
The orchards spangles hung.
The breezes brought dejected lutes,
And bathed them in the glee;
The East put out a single flag,
And signed the fete away.
