THE WORLD 
  "The world is wet," said the little frog;   "What isn't water is mostly bog."
  "Oh, not at all!" said the little fly;   "It's full of spiders, and very dry!"
  "The world is dark," said the moth polite,   "With ruddy windows and bows of light."
  "My poor young friend, you have much to learn:
  The world is green," said the swaying fern.
  "O listen to me," sang the little lark:
  "It's wet and dry, and it's green and dark.
  To think that's all would be very wrong;   It's arched with blue, and it's filled with song."
