There were various little poems we had to memorize in First Grade and which of course I remember to this day. "Whisky Frisky" is by Anonymous, and "Who Has Seen the Wind?" by Christina Rosetti, a more high-grade poet, though I'm not sure if all the verse was chosen by quality. More likely by simplicity, to exercise one's memory. If it had a bit of a didactic message (like "The Goops") probably all the better for the lessons. Here are a few I memorized in Middle School.
