On his shoulders rest,

And he dwells in the great South Sea.

PREPARING FOR WINTER

These squirrels have paused to consider

The fact that 't is late in the fall,

And time to lay nuts up for winter

If they would have any at all.

The red squirrel hoards like a miser,

But, alas, the improvident gray,

He's only a pauper of winter

Who scampers the summer away.

THE BATHERS

Adown the beach at Rockaway,

Three bathers one hot summer day

Retired to while the hours away.

Their minds were free, their hearts were light.
