Katherine Mansfield (Кэтрин Мэнсфилд)


A Few Rules for Beginners


Babies must not eat the coal
And they must not make grimaces,
Nor in party dresses roll
And must never black their faces.

They must learn that pointing’s rude,
They must sit quite still at table,
And must always eat the food
Put before them--if they’re able.

If they fall, they must not cry,
Though it’s known how painful this is;
No--there’s always Mother by
Who will comfort them with kisses.



Katherine Mansfield's other poems:
  1. The Awakening River
  2. Out in the Garden
  3. Song of the Little White Girl
  4. There Is a Solemn Wind Tonight
  5. Sorrowing Love
