I love to see the little stars All dancing to one tune; I think quite highly of the Sun, And kindly of the Moon. [Illustration] The million forests of the Earth Come trooping in to tea. The great Niagara waterfall Is never shy with me. [Illustration] I am the tiger's confidant, And never mention names: The lion drops the formal "Sir," And lets me call him James. [Illustration] Into my ear the blushing Whale Stammers his love. I know Why the Rhinoceros is sad, --Ah, child! 'twas long ago. [Illustration] |
