诗歌朗读2

My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky;


it’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by;


for every night at teatime and before you take your seat,


with lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.


Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea,


and my papa’s a banker and as rich as he can be;


But I, when I am stronger and can choose what I’m to do,


Leerie, I’ll go round at night and light the lamps with you!


For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door,


and Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more;


and oh! before you hurry by with ladder and with light;


Leerie, see a little child and nod to him tonight!
