Water Noises

When I am playing by myself, And all the boys are lost around, Then I can hear the water go; It makes a little talking sound.

Along the rocks below the tree, I see it ripple up and wink; And I can hear it saying on, "And do you think? And do you think?"

A bug shoots by that snaps and ticks, And a bird flies up beside the tree To go into the sky to sing. I hear it say, "Killdee, killdee!"

Or else a yellow cow comes down To splash a while and have a drink. But when she goes I still can hear The water say, "And do you think?"
