I'm Seven Years Old and I Cannot Swim So Don't Blame Me for Looking Grim. When a Frog has to Carry a Big Canteen And Water his Back to Keep it Green And Prime Himself if he Wants to Cry When his Belly gets Burned with Alkali Where the Grass Grows Brown instead of Green A Frog Can't Help but Feeling Mean. I'm an Old Bull Frog and Dang My Hide I Can't Swim Because I Never Tried. [Dick Wick Hall] |
At Last [Maynard Dixon, 1875-1946] At last I shall give myself to the desert again, That I, in its golden dust, May be blown from a barren peak, Broadcast over the sun-lands. If you should desire some news of me, Go ask the little horned toad whose home is the dust, Or seek it among the fragrant sage, Or question the mountain juniper, And, by their silence, They will truly inform you.
