BLUE SHOES
LITTLE Blue Shoes
Mustn’t go
Very far alone, you know.
Else she’ll fall down,
Or, lose her way;
Fancy – what
Would mamma say?
Better put her little hand
Under sister’s wise command.
When she’s a little older grown
Blue Shoes may go quite alone.
This vintage storybook image and poem, Blue Shoes, is from Marigold Garden by Kate Greenaway, circa 1892.
