The Waves on A Sea Shore
Roll
on,
roll
on,
you
restless
waves,
That
toss
about
and
roar;
Why
do
you
all
run
back
again
When
you
have
reached
the
shore?
Roll
on,
roll
on,
you
noisy
waves,
Roll
higher
up
the
strand;
How
is
it
that
you
cannot
pass
That
line
of
yellow
sand?
"We
may
not
dare,"
the
waves
reply:
"That
line
of
yellow
sand
Is
laid
along
the
shore
to
bound
The
waters
and
the
land.
"And
all
should
keep
to
time
and
place,
And
all
should
keep
to
rule,
Both
waves
upon
the
sandy
shore,
And
little
boys
at
school."
Mother Goose
Mother Goose is often cited as the author of hundreds of children’s stories that have been passed down through oral tradition and published over centuries. Various chants, songs, and even games have been attributed to her, but she is most recognized for her nursery rhymes, which have been familiar with readers of all generations. Her work is often published as Mother Goose Rhymes.
