My house is red

Kate Greenaway

 

My house is red - a little house,

A happy child am I,

I laugh and play the livelong day

I hardly ever cry.

I have a tree, a green, green tree,

To shade me from the sun;

And under it I often sit,

When all my work is done.

My little basket I will take,

And trip into the town;

When next I’m there I’ll buy some cake,

And spend my bright half-crown.
