The Red Wheelbarrow


Walking down with my red wheelbarrow,
I spied a blue jay and a brown little sparrow 
Flying across the golden fields;
I went behind them on a path narrow 
To collect my flower garden's yields;

Now, inside my red wheelbarrow,
You will find some marigolds yellow,
Pink roses, violets and white carnations, 
Green olive leaves and some fresh hedgerow,
All gathered for my sweet home's decorations.
