There's sun on the river and sun on the hill . . . <br />You can hear the sea if you stand quite still! <br />There's eight new puppies at Roundabout Farm- <br />And I saw an old sailor with only one arm! <br /> <br />But everyone says, "Run along!" <br />(Run along, run along!) <br />All of them say, "Run along! I'm busy as can be." <br />Every one says, "Run along, <br />There's a little darling!" <br />If I'm a little darling, why don't they run with me? <br /> <br />There's wind on the river and wind on the hill . . . <br />There's a dark dead water-wheel under the mill! <br />I saw a fly which had just been drowned- <br />And I know where a rabbit goes into the ground! <br /> <br />But everyone says, "Run along!" <br />(Run along, run along!) <br />All of them say, "Yes, dear," and never notice me. <br />Every one says, "Run along, <br />There's a little darling!" <br />If I'm a little darling, why won't they come and see?<br /><br />Alan Alexander Milne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-out-with-me/
