Where Go the Boats all questions and answers

READING

Read this poem about a child who likes to watch boats.

 

Dark brown is the river,

Golden is the sand,

It flows along for ever,

With trees on either hand. 

 

Green leaves a-floating,

Castles of the foam,

Boats of mine a-boating-

When will all come home?

 

On goes the river

And out past the mill,

Away down the valley,

Away down the hill.

 

Away down the river,

A hundred miles or more,

Other little children

Shall bring my boats ashore.

-R L Stevenson
