Common Knowledge

Canonical title
The Everyman Anthology of Poetry for Children
First words
[Preface] My aim has been to assemble a collection of poems that the owner will not outgrow.
Gray goose and gander
Waft you wings together,
And carry the good king's daughter
Over the one-strand river.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Preface] I can only hope that readers will find in it a quarter of the pleasure that it has given me.
