This dismal scene inspires me none <br />Me thinks to sleep for forty winks, <br />An’ let the brook babble on. <br />I will close my eyes and <br />Try to unravel the babble of <br />A babbling brook. <br />Maybe it’s a soothing song, <br />Maybe I’m wrong, but listen <br />Oh my yes it is indeed it is, <br />With its dribble and drabble <br />An’ swirly gurgles <br />Gurgling and swirling along, <br />The ducks are quacking <br />Their peace the frogs are lacking, <br />An’ by golly I’m singing a babbling song. <br />Well now me thinks <br />I’ll have that forty winks.<br /><br />Ken e Hall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-a-babbling-brook/
