THE POEM

Meadows have surprises,�You can find them if you look;

Walk softly through the velvet grass,

And listen by the brook.

You may see a butterfly��Rest upon a buttercup��And unfold its drinking straws��To sip the nectar up.

You may scare a rabbit��Who is sitting very still;

Though at first you may not see him,��When he hops you will.

A dandelion whose fuzzy head��Was golden days ago�

Has turned to airy parachutes�

That flutter when you blow.

Explore the meadow houses,�

The burrows in the ground,�

A nest beneath tall grasses,

The ant’s amazing mound.

Oh! Meadows have surprises��And many things to tell;

You may discover these yourself,�

If you look and listen well.
