About English Short Poems for Grade Four 1 House of Cards
( 1)
A house of cards
A house of cards
Is neat and small;
Clean and compact
Shake the table,
Shake the table
It's bound to fall.
It's bound to fall.
(2)
Find the court card
Find a card with a portrait on it.
One by one;
Stand up one by one.
Lift it, cover it,
Add the top cover
It's finished now;
Now the house has been built.
Shake the table!
Shake the table
That's the fun.
This is the fun of it.

What does Little Bird say about Grade Four English Short Poem 2?
( 1)
What did the bird say,
What did the bird say?
In her nest at dawn?
In Chu Xiao's nest at dawn?
The bird said, let me fly,
The bird said, let me fly,
Mom, let me fly away,
Mom, let me fly away.
Bird, take a rest,
Baby, stay a little longer,
Until little wings became stronger.
Wait until those two little wings grow hard.
So she took a break,
So it stayed for a while,
Then she flew away.
However, it flew away.

What did the baby say,
What did the baby say,
In her bed at dawn.
In bed at dawn?
The baby said, like a bird,
Babies talk like birds,
Let me fly.
Let me get up and fly away.
Baby, get some sleep,
Honey, get some sleep,
Until the little limbs become stronger.
When your limbs grow harder.
If she sleeps a little longer,
if
She slept a little longer,
Babies will fly away, too.
Babies are destined to fly away like birds.
Alfred Tennyson, 1809- 1892
On Grade Four English Short Poem 3 "When I was in the Sea"
When I arrived at the seaside,
They gave me a wooden shovel.
They gave me a wooden shovel.
Dig the beach.
So we can dig the beach.
These holes are as empty as cups.
Dig a cup-shaped hole
The sea camped in every hole,
Let the sea water come out of every hole.
Until it no longer appears.
Until it no longer appears.
By R.L. Stevenson
