“The sun would wither me here alone,

Long enough ere the day is gone;

But I’ll help you, and you help me,

And then what a splendid shade there’ll be.”

“Help one another,” the dewdrop cried,

Seeing another drop close to its side;

“The warm south wind would dry me away,

And I should be gone ere noon to-day;

But I’ll help you, and you help me,

And we’ll make a brook and run to the sea.”
