The three-toed tree-toad <br />Sings his sweet ode <br />To the moon; <br />The funny bunny <br />And his honey <br />Trip in tune. <br />The gentle cricket <br />From his thicket <br />Lifts his croon; <br />A love-lorn owlet <br />Of his fowlet <br />Begs a boon. <br />Across the water <br />To her daughter <br />Calls the loon; <br />A happy froglet <br />From his boglet <br />Chants his rune. <br />The yellow hound-dog <br />And the brown dog <br />Bay the 'coon; <br />The chipmunk dozes <br />Where the rose's <br />Leaves are strewn; <br />All through the night-time <br />Till the bright time <br />Comes, too soon, <br />The three-toed tree-toad <br />Sings his sweet ode <br />To the moon.<br /><br />Arthur Guiterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nocturne-31/
