Children poem ,William Wordsworth;s poem- A NIGHT IN JUNE*

                         A NIGHT IN JUNE*

  

The sun has long been set,

The stars are out by twos and threes,

The little birds are piping yet

Among the bushes and trees;

There’s a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,

And a far-off wind that rushes,

And a sound of water that gushes,

And the cuckoo’s sovereign cry

Fills all the hollow of the sky.

                                       - William Wordsworth
