Question

He/She wonders why the
paints the rainbow in the sky. The child thinks that
I wonder why the grass is green,
And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
O, when the moon is not quite round,
Where can the missing bit be found?
Who lights the stars when they blow out
And makes the lightning flash about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Why is it now, do you suppose,
That Dad won't-tellimé, if he knows?

Answer 1

The meaning of the dance should never be pursued. It is in admiring beauty that we open ourselves to truth.

This poem is simply a child’s perspective of viewing the world as something to wonder.

It is in reading the poem that we can find that wonder that we once felt as a child.

And the last line is a remark on the helplessness of an adult to explain his viewpoint of the world he has come to know of.
