While boots and shoes of every sort,
Of thick or thinnest leather,
Are made from skins of animals,
Tanned, cut, and sewed together.
Yes, surely, as I said before,
Almost the whole creation
It takes our clothing to supply,
For use or decoration.
AT THE POND
A pretty pond there is, all fringed
With trees and flowers gay,
Where many happy creatures live
And many come to play.
The fishes frolic merrily
Within its waters cool,
And funny little polliwogs
Live in the shining pool.
