Activity 1
write down adjectives
describing the mood of the
following photos/excerpts
Piping down the valleys wild,
  Piping songs of pleasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
  And he laughing said to me:

‘Pipe a song about a Lamb!’

  So I piped with merry cheer.
‘Piper, pipe that song again.’
  So I piped: he wept to hear.
  Dearest, forgive that with my clumsy touch
   I broke and bruised your rose.
   I hardly could suppose
  It were a thing so fragile that my clutch
      Could kill it, thus.
 One asked of regret,
     And I made reply:
   To have held the bird,
     And let it fly;
   To have seen the star
     For a moment nigh,
   And lost it
     Through a slothful eye;
   To have plucked the flower
     And cast it by;
   To have one only hope--
     To die.
And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding--
                   Riding-- riding--
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
When the green woods laugh with the voice of
joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;

When the meadows laugh with lively green,

And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene;
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing ‘Ha ha he!’
