👉 Look, see, behold (in an imperative sense).
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek,
At this little word, so simple and sleek!
“Lo” is a curious phrase, quite small you see,
Let's unpack its meaning for you and me.
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
"Look, see, behold," it says, fresh and new!
It’s an imperative – that's the key,
A command or suggestion, wild and free!
Think of it like this: if someone shouts “Lo!”
It means "Pay attention!" Let your senses flow!
Like when you spot a rainbow in the sky,
You might exclaim with joy, "Lo! Look at that high!"
Or perhaps you see a puppy, cute and bright,
"Lo!" could mean, "Take a good, long sight!"
It’s an invitation to observe and view,
A little prompt to notice something true.
So “lo” doesn't
mean
anything in the sense of a definition, you understand?
Instead, it’s a signal - a gentle command!
Any questions about this little rhyme?
