If you should meet a Crocodile...

If you should meet a crocodile,
Ignore the welcome in his smile.
For as he sleeps upon the Nile,
He thinner gets and thinner;
And whene'er you meet a crocodile
He's ready for his dinner.

Thoughtful Sunday from The Fountain of Tears

You may feel, when a falling leaf brushes
Your face, as though some one had kiss'd you,
Or think at least some one who miss'd you
Had sent you a thought...

Or a bird's little song, faint and broken,
May pass for a tender word spoken:
