Now We Are Six by A. A. Milne. Analysing a poem and rhyming Now We Are Six by A. A. Milne. Analysing a poem and rhyming

As is customary with A. A. Milne’s work, there is an element to the poetry which is only going to be truly accessible to an adult reader. In this case, it is the theme of identity and a search for satisfaction in that identity. This plays out very clearly in lines 1-10 of ‘ Now We Are Six.’The young child speaking is experiencing what every member of the human race goes through as they age, a process of seeking, learning, and hopefully becoming wiser.

The song, also known as "True Thomas", was released as a single running 3:14, and as a longer LP version running 6:44.

When the album was issued in the United States, however, it included the short version, apparently on the assumption that the shorter version would be more radio-friendly and more appealing to American audiences. Most reissues of this album contain the short version of "Thomas the Rhymer" with the exception of the BGO CD reissue. Present--The Very Best of Steeleye Span, which was composed of new versions of the band's older material, includes a longer version of the song, running 6:38. What?" said Piglet, with a jump.
