Notes About The Poem

Knit One, Purl One, Knit Two Together

sheepOur English Coasts Painting by William Holman Hunt

Sheep, Sheep a Wandering

Stray sheep play hide-and-seek
Knit one, Purl one, Knit Two together
Pick up a stitch, before it slips, and runs
Intertwining it, lest the pattern unravels
and the wayward flock topples over the cliff.
For sheep astray will play
with a wondering lust for wandering.
