What Might Have Been
The 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
