Numbers by Elizabeth Madox Roberts — Read

When I can count the numbers far, / And know all the figures that there are,

Then I'll know everything, and I / Can know about the ground and sky,

And all the little bugs I see, / And I'll count the leaves on the silver-leaf tree, / And all the days that ever can be.

I'll know all the cows and sheep that pass, / And I'll know all the grass,

And all the places far away, / And I'll know everything some day.
