The Secret Song
Who saw the petals drop from the rose?
I, said the spider,
But nobody knows.
Who saw the sunset flash on a bird?
I, said the fish
But nobody heard.
Who saw the fog come over the sea?
I, said the sea pigeon,
Only me.
Who saw the first green light of the sun?
I, said the night owl,
The only one.
Who saw the moss creep over the stone?
I, said the gray fox,
All alone.
