[The peacock has a score of eyes]
The peacock has a score of eyes,
With which he cannot see;
The cod-fish has a silent sound,
However that may be;
With which he cannot see;
The cod-fish has a silent sound,
However that may be;
No dandelions tell the time,
Although they turn to clocks;
Cat's-cradle does not hold the cat,
Nor foxglove fit the fox.
Although they turn to clocks;
Cat's-cradle does not hold the cat,
Nor foxglove fit the fox.
