Suppose 



How dreary would the meadows be 

 In the pleasant summer light, 

 Suppose there wasn't a bird to sing, 

 And suppose the grass were white ! 



And dreary would the garden be 

 With all its flowery trees, 

 Suppose there were no butterflies, 

 And suppose there were no bees. 



And what would all the beauty be, 

 And what the song that cheers, 

 Suppose we hadn't any eyes, 

 And suppose we hadn't ears ! 



For though the grass were gay and green, 

 And song birds filled the glen, 

 And the air were purple with butterflies, 

 What good would they do, then ?
