The Elements

by W. H. Davies
No house of stone
Was built for me;
When the Sun shines —
I am a bee.

No sooner comes
The Rain so warm,
I come to light —
I am a worm.

When the Winds blow,
I do not strip,
But set my sails —
I am a ship.

When Lightning comes,
It plays with me
And I with it —
I am a tree.

When drowned men rise
At Thunder's word,
Sings Nightingale —
