On The Bridge.

Topics: classic

If I could see a little fish     That is what I just now wish!     I want to see his great round eyes     Always open in surprise.     I wish a water rat would glide     Slowly to the other side;     Or a dancing spider sit     On the yellow flags a bit.     I think I'll get some stones to throw,     And watch the pretty circles show.     Or shall we sail a flower-boat,     And watch it slowly slowly float?     That's nice because you never know     How far away it means to go;     And when to-morrow comes, you see,     It may be in the great wide sea.
