THE GREAT BROWN OWL
THE Brown Owl sits in the ivy-bush, And she looketh wondrous wise, With a h.o.r.n.y beak beneath her cowl, And a pair of large round eyes.
She sat all day on the selfsame spray, From sunrise till sunset; And the dim grey light, it was all too bright For the Owl to see in yet.
"Jenny Owlet, Jenny Owlet," said a merry little bird, "They say you're wondrous wise; But I don't think you see, though you're looking at ME With your large, round, s.h.i.+ning eyes."
But night came soon, and the pale white moon Rolled high up in the skies; And the great Brown Owl flew away in her cowl, With her large, round, s.h.i.+ning eyes.
