NUMBERS

Elizabeth Madox Roberts

When I can count the numbers far, And know all the figures that there are, Then I'll know everything, and I Can know about the ground and sky,

And all the little bugs I see, And I'll count the leaves on the silver-leaf tree, And all the days that ever can be. I'll know all the cows and sheep that pass,

And I'll know all the grass, And all the places far away, And I'll know everything some day.
