How good it is to see your informative post, Malcolm. Welcome back.

"Hark, Hark" was the first poem I learned by heart, as printed in Tasha Tudor's book of nursery rhymes. I was four or five and starting to make poems and pictures myself.

For me, her illustration for the poem is forever intertwined with the words. She used the "one" and "tags" version. I can't get to my copy to check on her source right now.

I am intrigued by the conjoined version Carmel posted and look forward to reading more about it.
