When summer’s in the city,
And brick’s a blaze of heat,
The Ice-cream Man with his little cart
Goes trundling down the street.
यह कविता रैचेल फील्ड ने लिखी है। इस कविता में आइस क्रीम वाले के बारे में बताया गया है।
जब तेज गर्मी पड़ती है और ईंटें आग की तरह गर्म हो जाती हैं तब आइस क्रीम वाला अपना ठेला लेकर उसे गलियों में लुढ़काता हुआ आता है।Beneath his round umbrella,
Oh, what a joyful sight,
To see him fill the cones with mounds
Of cooling brown and white
Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
Or chilly things to drink
From bottles full of frosty-fizz,
Green, orange, white, or pink.
उसकी गोल छतरी के नीचे देखने लायक नजारा होता है। वह आइस क्रीम कोन को ठंडे भूरे और सफेद रंगों की ढ़ेरियों से भरता है। वह कई फ्लेवर के आइसक्रीम कोन पर डालता है, जैसे कि वनीला, चॉकलेट और स्ट्राबेरी। उसके पास कई बोतलें भी होती हैं जिनमें हरे, नारंगी, सफेद या गुलाबी रंगों की ठंडी फिज्जी ड्रिंक भरी होती हैं।
His cart might be a flower bed,
Of roses and sweet peas,
The way the children cluster round
As thick as honeybees.
ऐसा लगता है कि उसका ठेला तरह तरह के फूलों से सजा हुआ है जिसके चारों ओर बच्चे मधुमक्खियों की तरह मंडराने लगते हैं।
