First lines
"Geese"
Ev-er-y child who has the use / Of his sen-ses knows a goose. / Sees them un-der-neath the tree / Gath-er round the goose-girl's knee, / While she reads them by the hour / From the works of Scho-pen-hau-er. / How pa-tient-ly the geese at-tend! / But do they re-al-ly com-pre-hend / What Scho-pen-hau-er's driving at? / Oh, not at all; but what of that? / Nei-ther do I; nei-ther does she; / And, for that matter, nor does he.
