But we love the brown ones, and in we paddle, screaming,

Laughing, while the soft mud oozes ’round our feet.

Trees shake their wet cloaks, and on us falls a shower;

We laugh the louder, as down the road we run.

See! there’s a cowslip, and here’s a fairies’ bower,

All made of violets, nodding to the sun.

Down in the East, where we still can hear the thunder,

Over the cloud bends a misty, shining Bow.

Right at the foot of it are hidden many wonders,

If we can get there before the colors go.
