BAMBOO ONE night when the hills were drenched with dew And
moonbeams lay about, The comical cone of a young bamboo Came
cautiously creeping out. It tossed aside its cap of brown, Amazed
at the sudden light, And so pleased it was with the world it had
found It grew six feet that night. It grew and it grew in the
summer breeze, It grew and it grew until It looked right over the
camphor-trees To the further side of the hill. " Udzukushii !" the
bamboo-cutter cried, As with series of shuddering shocks He chopped
it all round till it fell to the ground, Then he hauled it away
with an ox. He made him a tub from the lowermost round, And a pail
from the very next one; A caddy for rice from the following slice
And his work was no more than begun. The next were some vases and
medicine-cases, Then, dippers and cups galore; There were platters
and bowls, and pickets and poles, And matting to spread on the
floor. A parasol-frame and an intricate game, And ribs for a
gossamer fan; A sole for his shoe, and a tooth-pick or two.? He
made next,?this wonderful man! A pencil, I think, and a holder for
ink, A stem for his miniature pipe; A ring for his hand, and a tall
flower-stand, And a basket for oranges ripe. A rake then he made;
and a small garden spade, And a trellis to loop up his vine; A
flute which he blew, and a tea-strainer, too, And a fiddle to
squeak shrill and fine. It would take me all day, should I try thus
to say All that jolly old man brought to view; But a traveller I
met says he's sitting there yet, At work on that single bamboo. THE
MISCHIEVOUS MORNING-GLORY (Adapted from the Japanese) IT was the
rosy flush of dawn In beautiful Japan, When, from the house with
swinging pail, ...
