Smaller than a shut nut in its Candy can skin, The silken icecube melts, The compact cricket swells to distant hymns, 5 And the tough grass suffers into seed. (It is a bantam birth.) Many of the big things in this world Can be described as Small. 10 The delicate ballet of Mountains bowing low As bathtub waves between The popsickle peaks Is 15 One example, But there are many others. Many many; ask the brilliant Corn-kernel sun, and he Will tell you. 20 I myself will tell you and tell you Until finally, balled like a baby, I diminish into happiness.
