YOU see, merry Phillis, that dear little maid, <br />Has invited Belinda to tea; <br />Her nice little garden is shaded by trees - <br />What pleasanter place could there be? <br /> <br />There's a cake full of plums, there are strawberries too, <br />And the table is set on the green; <br />I'm fond of a carpet all daisies and grass - <br />Could a prettier picture be seen? <br /> <br />A blackbird (yes blackbirds delight in warm weather,) <br />Is flitting from yonder high spray; <br />He sees the two little ones talking together - <br />No wonder the blackbirds gay!<br /><br />Kate Greenaway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-see-merry-phillis/
