What The Trees Said To The Little Boy

Topics: classic

I.     Once when the park     Was very dark     I slipped out and went walking;     And heard the trees     To the summer breeze,     And to each other talking. II.     And I heard them say,     "We have stood all day     In one spot here, and worried     To keep the sun     From each little one     Who laughed at our feet or hurried. III.     "Now every boy     And girl and toy     Is safe at home, my patience!     Why! I and you,     As their parents do,     Can talk of our relations."
