What Might Have BeenThe little birds are singing Above their speckled eggs, ![]() The daddy-long-legs talks about His children's lovely legs. ![]() The red cow thinks her little calf The best that there can be, ![]() And my papa and my mamma Are very proud of me! ![]() And yet I might have been a bird, And slept within a nest, Or been a daddy-long-legs, With scarcely any chest; Or been a little calf or pig, And grown to beef or ham; I'm very, very, very glad That I am what I am!
