"If I were an artist..."

Pictures
by Wilhelmina Seegmiller

If I were an artist, I surely should draw
The strangest of things that you ever saw.

A hunter in chase of little brown hares.
Icebergs, with plenty of big polar bears.

A sea with great sails all spread in a breeze,
A boy wading in way up to his knees.

A peacock so grand and proud of his train,
And fields upon fields of gold waving grain.

If I were an artist I surely should draw
The strangest of things that you ever saw.
