"Margery Brown on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing idle still?"
"Oh, I 'm looking over to London town;
Shall I see the horsemen if I go down?"
"Margery Brown on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing listening still?"
"Oh, I hear the bells of London ring,
And I hear the men and maidens sing."
"Margery Brown on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing, waiting still?"
"Oh, a knight is there, but I can't go down,
For the bells ring strangely in London town."
—Kate Greenaway.
