In the Garden.
Potatoes eyes are open wide,
But never see nor WINK,
And cabbages have great big heaas
That cannot ache or think.
Each grass-tuft carries sharpened
blades
But never cuts itself;
And lilies never wash their cups
And set them on the shelf.
Though trees have upper and lower
limbs
Like US. they cannot walk.
And not a flower that has tongue
Was ever heard to talk.
But though we see and think and talk
And work. and ache some, too.
DO we each fill our places in life
Just az these others do?
