Once it so happened that <br />I sat pondering in wonder, <br />Thinking that way, asking myself, <br />'Will I ever reach that yonder? ' <br /> <br />Once it so happened that <br />I sat pondering in wonder, <br />Peering at the tireless bee, <br />Busy collecting necter. <br /> <br />But once it so happened <br />That I sat but not in wonder, <br />Rather a world, a wonderful world, <br />That had neither horizon nor border. <br /> <br />I could see the birds flying high, <br />I could see the clouds gathering by, <br />I could feel the breeze with its quenched sigh; <br />And that was the moment I did agnize - 'I too can reach the sky!
