I love to see the little starsA
All dancing to one tuneB
I think quite highly of the SunC
And kindly of the MoonB
-
-
-
The million forests of the EarthD
Come trooping in to teaE
The great Niagara waterfallF
Is never shy with meE
-
-
-
I am the tiger's confidantG
And never mention namesH
The lion drops the formal SirI
And lets me call him JamesH
-
-
-
Into my ear the blushing WhaleJ
Stammers his love I knowK
Why the Rhinoceros is sadL
Ah child 'twas long agoK
-
-
-
I am akin to all the EarthD
By many a tribal signM
The aged Pig will often wearN
That sad sweet smile of mineM
-
-
-
My niece the Barnacle has gotO
My piercing eyes of blackP
The Elephant has got my noseQ
I do not want it backP
-
-
-
I know the strange tale of the SlugR
The Early Sin the FallF
The Sleep the Vision and the VowS
The Quest the Crown the CallF
-
-
-
And I have loved the OctopusT
Since we were boys togetherI
I love the Vulture and the SharkU
I even love the weatherI
-
-
-
I love to bask in sunny fieldsV
And when that hope is vainW
I go and bask in Baker StreetX
All in the pouring rainW
-
-
-
Come snow where fly by some strange lawY
Hard snowballs without noiseZ
Through streets untenanted exceptA2
By good unconscious boysZ
-
-
-
Come fog exultant mysteryE
Where in strange darkness rolledB2
The end of my own nose becomesC2
A lovely legend oldB2
-
Come snow and hail and thunderboltsC2
Sleet fire and general fussC2
Come to my arms come all at onceC2
Oh photograph me thusC2
