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
