I asked the little tailor as he sewed
upon the hill,
"How can the little busy bet the
poet's words fulfill?
How could that little animal, sup- -
pose he had the powers,
(Or anybody else) improve already
shining hours?"
Says he, "Oho!
You're very slow !
Why, shine them with Sapoltal"
I asked the little tailor as he sat
a-catching flies,
"Why was the man who jumped,
within the briar bush sol
wise?
For leaping into brambles, I wewld j
plainly say to ou, i
Is not a thin"; the average man is
very npt to do!"
"Oh, don"t you know
Why he did so?
In that bu,h was Sappho!"
"Oh, little tailor." once said I, "I
wifh ynt'd tell to me,
Why, when I take my walks
abroad, so many poor 1 see ;
And why they're always dirtier
than anyone I've seen,
And even have objections to my
garments being clean?"
Said he, " They go
All dirty so.
Because they've no
Sapoiio !"
I asked the little tailor as he
smoked one uindy night,
"Pray Id! me wliv the little dr.gs
delight to bark and bile,
For, though I own a little dog, I
do not think that he
lias ever barked or bitten at my
iriciiiU or yet at me !"
"Dogs arc a toe
To dirt, and v
P.ite those iio hate
Sapoiio !"
I sat down by the tailor on the hill
and asked him this :
"Why can you always tell me what
the reason for things is?
And why arc- both your wisdom
and your seizors always
bright,
So they light our little village on
the very darkest night ?"
"lici'orc you go."
He said, "Just know
'Die answer to all's
Sapoiio !"
I met the little tailor with my Gre
cian Jli-t'ry hook,
Said I, "I wish at Hercules you'd
give a little look,
And tell mc how it was he cleaned
the Augean stables so
By simply turning into them a little
river's flow ?"
"That river's flow,
All writers know.
Contained," 'aid he,
"Sapoiio !"
I watched the little stars that shine
aUjve the world so high,
And I saw them wink and wiggle
all in rows along the sky,
Then said I unto the tailor, as I
watched each little star:
"Now don't you often wonder what
those starlets really are?"
"Wonder? Oh, not
Those stars that glow"
Are pans shined with
Sapoiio!"
I said unto the tailor, "I can't real
ly understand
Why Macbeth's wife made all that
fuss about her stained hand?
They say she used to walk around
the basement stairs at night.
And wail about her fingers till the
house was in a fright I" , ,
He said, "Her woe,
You surely know
Was lack of Hand Sapoiio!"
A bee, unladen, will fly forty mll
