More practical than Pegasus the horse
If it could put a star back in its course.”

In summertime with a witching wand,
In every wheelruts now a brook,
In every print of a hoof a pond.”

And said out loud, I couldnt bide the smother
And heat so close in; but the thought of all
The woods and town on fire by me, and all
The town turned out to fight for me that held me.”

“Our snowstorms as a rule
Arent looked on as man-killers, and although
Id rather be the beast that sleeps the sleep
Under it all, his door sealed up and lost,
Than the man fighting it to keep above it,
Yet think of the small birds at roost and not
In nests....”

What we cant or can
Lets keep starring man
In the royal role.”
