1886 Asleep Chickens Clock Crows Kites Lyrics Marching Notation Poultry Singing Song Words Games

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and nostalgic image of children playing a musical game in the 1880s. In the scene, a group of girls are gathered around a table, their faces filled with excitement and concentration as they sing and clap along to the rhythm of "Chickens Come Clock." The melody goes, "Chickens come clock, come clock, come clock... The kites are away and the crows are asleep, And it's time for my chickens to get something to eat." The table is adorned with various musical instruments, including a xylophone, a tambourine, and a triangle. Each girl holds a small, hand-held drum, striking it in unison as they sing. In the background, we see a Victorian-era garden, complete with colorful flowers, a wooden fence, and a few chickens pecking at the ground. The sun is setting, casting a warm glow over the scene. The lyrics of the song suggest that it's time for the chickens to be fed, indicating that the game may have been played at dusk. The girls seem to be enjoying a simple yet delightful pastime, one that has likely been passed down through generations. The image is a beautiful representation of childhood innocence and the joy of music and nature. This historical photograph is a unique and captivating addition to any home or office, and is sure to spark conversation and intrigue. The image is not to be confused with any company or commercial use, but rather a snapshot of a simpler time in history. This print is available through Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, music, or the simple pleasures of childhood.
