TALKS WITH NATURE
* I think you're qxiite funny,' I said To the River, ' for, while you've a bed You're awake night and day, And run on, yet you ' stay ; And your mouth is so far from your head.'
I said to the Hill': * I'll allow You have a most wonderful brow, But you've such a big foot That you never can put On a shoe of the style they use now.' I said to the Tree : ' You are. queer ; Your trunk is all packed, but I fear You can't leave until spring When — a curious thing ! — You must still remain standing right here.'
