| The Elements written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Songs of Joy", 1911 |
No house of stone
Was built for me;
When the Sun shines -
I am a bee.
No sooner comes
The Rain so warm,
I come to light -
I am a worm.
When the Winds blow,
I do not strip,
But set my sails -
I am a ship.
When Lightning comes,
It plays with me
And I with it -
I am a tree.
When drowned men rise
At Thunder's word,
Sings Nightingale -
I am a bird.
