A lovely anonymous children’s poem.
I saw a Peacock, with a fiery tail,
I saw a Blazing Comet, drop down hail,
I saw a Cloud, wrapped with ivy round,
I saw an Oak, creep on the ground,
I saw a Pismire, swallow up a Whale,
I saw the Sea, brim full of Ale,
I saw a Venice Glass, full fifteen feet deep,
I saw a Well, full of mens tears that weep,
I saw Red eyes, all of a flaming fire,
I saw a House, bigger than the Moon and higher,
I saw the Sun, at twelve o’clock at night,
I saw the Man, that saw this wondrous sight.
