or nothing.To keep our faces

of fate is strength undetectable. "

NOISE BY POOH

Oh, the Butterflies are flying,Now the winter days are dying,

And the primroses are tryingTo be seen.

And the turtle-doves are cooing,And the woods are up and doing,

For the violets are blue-ingIn the green.

~Oh. the honey-bees are gumming

On their little wings, and hummingThat the summer, which is coming.

Will be fun.And the cows are almost cooing,And the turtle-doves are mooing,

Which is why a Pooh is PooingIn the sun.

For the spring is really springing,You can see the skylark singing,

And the blue-bells, which are ringing,Can be heard.

And the cuckoo isn't cooing,But he's cucking and he's cooing,

And a Pooh is simply pooingLike a bird.
