Of little wooden animals painted shy,
Terrific colors, magnificent and horrible,
Close together.”

In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones
Appear and disappear in the blue depth of the sky”

When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me
To sing the sweet chorus of ‘Ha, ha, he!’”
