THREE QUAKERS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I met three quakers on a hill
Last Line: Would make him be a quaker goat.
Subject(s): Friends, Religious Society Of; Quakers


I met three Quakers on a hill,
And thee'd and thou'd with them until
I thought I was a Quaker, too,
And Quakers all the birds that flew

And Quakers all the trees that stood
Like little angels being good,
Whilst Quaker thoughts paced through my brain
Like Quaker maidens down a lane.

Alas, a solemn goat came by,
And butted me, and closed his eye;
And not a Quaker I could quote
Would make him be a Quaker goat.
