Text Appearing Before Image:
n tiny trips;And above the daisy tree Through the grasses,High oerhead the Bumble Bee Hums and passes. (87) In that forest to and fro I can wander, I can go; See the spider and the fly, And the ants go marching by, Carrying parcels with their feet Down the green and grassy street. I can in the sorrel sit Where the ladybird alit. I can climb the jointed grass And on highSee the greater swallows pass In the sky,And the round sun rolling byHeeding no such things as I. Through that forest I can passTill, as in a looking-glass,Humming fly and daisy treeAnd my tiny self I see,Painted very clear and neatOn the rain-pool at my feet.Should a leaflet come to landDrifting near to where I stand,Straight I 11 board that tiny boatRound the rain-pool sea to float. Little thoughtful creatures sitOn the grassy coasts of it;Little things with lovely eyesSee me sailing with surprise.(88) / have just to shut my eyes To go sailing through the skies — To go sailing far away To the pleasant Land of Play ;
Text Appearing After Image:
Some are clad in armour green —(These have sure to battle been!) —Some are pied with evry hue,Black and crimson, gold and blue;Some have wings and swift are gone; -But they all look kindly on. When my eyes I once again Open, and see all things plain:High bare walls, great bare floor;Great big knobs on drawer and door;Great big people perched on chairs,Stitching tucks and mending tears,Each a hill that I could climb,And talking nonsense all the time — O dear me, That I could beA sailor on the rain-pool sea,A climber in the clover tree,And just come back, a sleepy-head,Late at night to go to bed. (89) Garden Days
