THE VOWELS: AN ENIGMA by JONATHAN SWIFT

First Line: WE ARE LITTLE AIRY CREATURES
Last Line: IT CAN NEVER FLY FROM YOU.
Subject(s): MNEMONICS; VOWELS;
We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features;
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you'll find in jet,
T'other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.
