Peter and Wendy (1911) — Chapter 6

“I wish I had a pretty house,The littlest ever seen,With funny little red wallsAnd roof of mossy green.”

“We’ve built the little walls and roofAnd made a lovely door,So tell us, mother Wendy,What are you wanting more?”

“Oh, really next I think I’ll haveGay windows all about,With roses peeping in, you know,And babies peeping out.”

“We’ve made the roses peeping out,The babes are at the door,We cannot make ourselves, you know,’Cos we’ve been made before.”
