Come Hither: A Collection of Rhymes and Poems for the Young of All Ages

by Unknown

I SAW A PEACOCK

I saw a peacock with a fiery tail

I saw a blazing comet drop down hail

I saw a cloud wrappèd with ivy round

I saw an oak creep on along the ground

I saw a pismire swallow up a whale

I saw the sea brim full of ale

I saw a Venice glass five fathom deep

I saw a well full of men's tears that weep

I saw red eyes all of a flaming fire
