F
I am in the farmer's field,
I am fresh in all his fruits;
I'm in all his forests wide,
But I'm not in his pursuits.
E
Twice told, I'm in Eternity,
And yet I live in time;
I eat and sleep in every place,
Yet soar in the sublime.
D
I darken your doors and your windows,
And if you are deaf, dumb, or blind,
You may know I am always quite ready,
Your duds or your dainties to find. [{344}]
C
Though I live in the ocean so blue,
Yet I never am seen in the sea;
I can cast a sheet-anchor, 't is true,
And captains depend upon me.
B
I grow in the bean,
And to beauty I lean,
And when buttercups bloom I am there;
I bend the boy's bow,
And the bugle I blow,
Till I wake the Kamtchatcadale bear.
