SCHOOL is over,
Oh, what fun!
Lessons finished,
Play begun.
Who’ll run fastest,
You or I?
Who’ll laugh loudest?
Let us try.
Here is a cleaner version of the illustration of school children from the page.
This adorable storybook poem and illustration is from Under the Window by Kate Greenaway, circa 1880.

Very sweet. I just wish I knew why her children are so very serious. There must be a story to it. I should research it. Thank you, I love her art.
I have often wondered the same thing Peggy but I have never researched it. If you find any information, please feel free to share it here if you wish. I love Kate Greenaway’s art as well.
