Classic Poem

When I am playing by myself,
——And all the boys are lost around,
Then I can hear the water go—
——It makes a little talking sound.

Along the rocks below the tree,
——I see it ripple up and wink;
And I can hear it saying on,
——“And do you think? and do you think?”

A bug shoots by that snaps and ticks,
——And a bird flies up beside the tree
To go into the sky to sing.
——I hear it say, “Killdee, killdee!”

Or else a yellow cow comes down
——To splash a while and have a drink.
But when she goes I still can hear
——The water say, “And do you think?”
