FROSTED CAKES, by                    
First Line: The hills are frosted cakes
Last Line: They soon to highways gum them.
Subject(s): Nature


The hills are frosted cakes,
And trees the candles on them;
For each, a druid makes,
And then he dances on them.

They make them all so nice,
With many nuts within them;
Which men proceed to slice,
And from the druids win them.

The nuts are hard to crack,
But strength of men o'ercomes them;
For naught of power they lack: --
They soon to highways gum them.
