Last Line: Bird, moth and bee.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Animals; Nature


Say what you like,
All things love me!
I pick no flowers --
That wins the Bee.

The Summer's Moths
Think my hand one --
To touch their wings --
With Wind and Sun.

The garden Mouse
Comes near to play;
Indeed, he turns
His eyes away.

The Wren knows well
I rob no nest;
When I look in,
She still will rest.

The hedge stops Cows,
Or they would come
After my voice
Right to my home.

The Horse can tell,
Straight from my lip,
My hand could not
Hold any whip.

Say what you like,
All things love me!
Horse, Cow, and Mouse,
Bird, Moth and Bee.
