First lines

A frog's a very happy thing, Cool and green in early spring, Quick and silver through the pool, With no thought of books or school.

Oh, I want to be a frog, Sunning, stretching on a log, Blinking there in splendid ease, Swimming naked when I please, Nosing into magic nooks, Quiet marshes, noisy brooks.

Free! And fit for anything! Oh, to be a frog in spring!
