I <br /> <br />A little boy once played so loud <br />That the Thunder, up in a thunder-cloud, <br />Said, 'Since I can't be heard, why, then <br />I'll never, never thunder again!' <br /> <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />And a little girl once kept so still <br />That she heard a fly on the window-sill <br />Whisper and say to a lady-bird,-- <br />'She's the stilliest child I ever heard!'<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/extremes-3/
