And IN owl like that cnn afford to boot
And no Eootcd-until, alasl one day,

So ho slept like an honest owl oil day,
And rose in tho early twilight gray,
And went to work in tho dusky light
To look for tho carly worm all night
lie searched tho country for miles around,
But tho carly worm was not to he found:
So he went to bed in the dawning light
And looked for the worn" again next night
And again and again and again and again
he sought and ho sought, but all In vain,
TIL he must have looked for O year and u day
For tho carly worm in the twilight gray
AT last In despair he gave up the search,
And was heard to remark as he sat on his

By the side of his nest in the hollow tree,

Nothing can shake my conviction firm,
