For if the earth were made of brass And all the seas were lead. How could the ostrich make a hole In which to hide his head? My heart is heavy lead, I've thought if gloves were shoes And shoes were something else. 'Twould hinder me in playing bowls, And diving after smelts What else?' I moan. what else?'  Suppose one had a dream in which He forcibly was fed, And found, waking up at dawn, He'd eaten up his bed? Oh. woe, to be so fed! And if the ice about the Pole
