The birds go fluttering in the air, The rabbits run and skip, Brown squirrels race along the bough, The May-flies rise and dip; But, whilst these creatures play and leap, The silent snake goes creepy-creep! The birdies sing and whistle loud, The busy insects hum, The squirrels chat, the frogs say "croak!" But the snake is always dumb. With not a sound through grasses deep The silent snakes goes creepy-creep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE NOTHING II by HAYDEN CARRUTH POETICAL ABSTRACTS: 2.
