There’s Carol like a rolling car, And Martin like a flying bird, And Adam like the Lord’s First Word, And Raymond like the Harvest Moon, And Peter like a piper’s tune, And Alan like the flowing on Of water. And there’s John, like John.
Eleanor Farjeon Quotes
Morning has broken Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing Fresh from the Word!
