Ten children dancing beneath a moonlit sky.  

One rests on a grassy mound. Then there are nine.  

Nine children dancing on a wooden gate.  

One rests against a fence. Then there are eight.  

Eight children dancing on a cloud near heaven.  

One rests on a fluffy bed. Then there are seven.  

Seven children dancing around a pile of sticks.  

One rests on hickory. Then there are six.  

Six children dancing in a field of fireflies.  

One rests on a flower bed. Then there are five.

Five children dancing on the sandy shore.  

One rests on a bed of clams. Then there are four.  

Four children dancing high in a tree.  

One rests in a robin's nest. Then there are three.  

Three children dancing for animals in the zoo.  

One rests on a crocodile. Then there are two.  

Two children dancing before the night is done.  

One rests on a fallen star. Then there is one.  

One child dancing hears a sparrow's song. He rests his head on his own bed. Then it is dawn.Five children dancing on the sandy shore.

Subject: [OPLINLIST] Can anyone finish this poem (Ten children dancing...)

  
    
     

Can anyone finish out this poem for me?  It starts out with the line "Ten children dancing beneath a moonlight sky..." and goes on to count down to five.  That's where the poem ends.  The sites that I have searched on require a trial membership to things and I just need the rest of the poem, not a membership.  

   

You can reply directly to barbarascott1956 at yahoo.com   

   

TIA!
