'The Squirrel is cunning / And whenever not funning / Is husbanding nuts. / In the cold short days / While late winter stays / In the larder he trusts, / Like the Camels who travel / O'er waste hills and level / Where thirst is a tease. / Without flurried speed / Each to his need / Finds comfort and ease / On his back or in trees'.
