Who Really Knows

Down at the stream there’s a frog who knows, where the water flows, But he cannot know, for he’s no way to show Up on the mountain there’s a goat who knows, where her path goes, But she cannot know, for she’s got many foes Out on the sea there’s a bird who knows, where all the boats blow, but he cannot know, for he does not row In the forest there’s a tree who knows just how tall it grows, but it cannot know, for trees cannot crow Somewhere there’s a god who knows all these seeds I sow, but they cannot know, For I’m the devil you know By David Kavanagh
