NATURE'S TEACHINGS 



'Fawn-footed Nannie, what did you see?' 

 1 Saw the fays sewing leaves on a tree ; 

 Saw the waves counting the eyes of the stars, 

 Saw cloudlamps sleeping by sunset's red bars.' 



' Nannie, dear Nannie, take me with you, too, 



So I may listen and see as you do.' 

 'Nay! you must borrow my ear and my eye, 



Or music will vanish and beauty will die.' "
