  Whatever is-is.
  I lived so long
  That I could see
  The sun and the moon,
  The bee on the flower,
  The dew on the grass,
  And now, when
  The day is gloomy,
  Standing, with the
  Top of the fir-tree,
  I’m looking forward
  To seeing the snow
  And the winds blow.

  It is cloudy,
  It is drizzling,
  The sky has
  Come down, near,
  But I don’t forget
  The height of
  The sky,
  I remember it
  And that’s why.
