The Circus
By Eleanor Farjeon



The brass band blares,
The flashing flares,
The sawdust smells,
Showmen ring bells,
And O! right into the circus ring
Comes such a lovely, lovely thing,
A milk white pony with flying tress,
And a beautiful lady,
A beautiful lady in a pink dress!
The red and white clown
For joy tumbles down.
Like a pink rose
Round she goes
On her tiptoes
With the pony under -
And then, O wonder!
The pony his milk white tresses droops
And the beautiful lady
The beautiful lady,
Flies like a bird through the paper hoops!
The red and white clown for joy falls dead,
on his head,
Then he waggles his feet and stands
And the little boys on the twopenny seats
Scream with laughter and suck their sweets.HTTP://DIDDILYDEEDOTSDREAMLAND.ZOOMSHARE.COM
