'Make a song, father, a new little song, <br />All for Jenny and Nancy.' <br />Balow lalow or Hey derry down, <br />Or else what might you fancy? <br /> <br />Is there any song sweet enough <br />For Nancy and for Jenny? <br />Said Simple Simon to the pieman, <br />'Indeed I know not any.' <br /> <br />'I've counted the miles to Babylon, <br />I've flown the earth like a bird, <br />I've ridden cock-horse to Banbury Cross, <br />But no such song have I heard.' <br /> <br />'Some speak of Alexander, <br />And some of Hercules, <br />But where are there any like Nancy and Jenny, <br />Where are there any like these?'<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-for-two-children/
