Excerpt from Behind the Garden Wall The Reason Why The moon hung like an orange round, And shed her mellow light Down on the Garden bathed in dew, And on the pebbles white; The music of the Katy-dids Was really quite sublime, They played so softly several airs, And kept such perfect time. Most half asleep, I heaved a sigh To think how very few Unusual happenings occur, Considered strange or new; The scenery is always full Of grass and trees, or corn; The night steals on us still and dark, Then comes the same old morn.
