Robert Louis Stevenson Poems to Color

Robert Louis Stevenson Poems to Color

April is National Poetry Month and I am excited to co-host the
2014 Children’s Poetry Celebration & Contest!

{Keep reading for a freebie from me, contest details, and a giveaway.}

One of our favorite poetry books is A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. The poems are simple enough for very young children to memorize, and reflect the innocence of a vintage childhood.

The Swing

  How do you like to go up in a swing,
       Up in the air so blue?
  Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
       Ever a child can do!

  Up in the air and over the wall,
       Till I can see so wide,
  River and trees and cattle and all
       Over the countryside—

  Till I look down on the garden green,
       Down on the roof so brown—
  Up in the air I go flying again,
       Up in the air and down!

I created a set of Robert Louis Stevenson Poems to Color for you to use with your kiddos. You can use them as coloring sheets, for copywork, or for memory work. Make a durable poetry notebook by printing the poems on cardstock and placing in a page protector.

Young Night-Thought

  All night long and every night,
  When my mama puts out the light,
  I see the people marching by,
  As plain as day before my eye.

  Armies and emperor and kings,
  All carrying different kinds of things,
  And marching in so grand a way,
  You never saw the like by day.

  So fine a show was never seen
  At the great circus on the green;
  For every kind of beast and man
  Is marching in that caravan.

  As first they move a little slow,
  But still the faster on they go,
  And still beside me close I keep
  Until we reach the town of Sleep.
