The Happy Child

I saw this day sweet flowers grow thick—
But not one like the child did pick.
 
I heard the packhounds in green park—
But no dog like the child heard bark.
 
I heard this day bird after bird—
But not one like the child has heard.
 
A hundred butterflies saw I—
But not one like the child saw fly.
 
I saw the horses roll in grass—
But no horse like the child saw pass.
 
My world this day has lovely been—
But not like what the child has seen.
