Now, let’s read a poem to find out how things differ from one place to another, if at all.

Swallows travel to and fro,
And the great winds come and go,

And the steady breezes blow,

Bearing perfume, bearing love.

Breezes hasten, swallows fly,

Towered clouds forever ply,

And at noonday, you and I

See the same sunshine above.

Dew and rain fall everywhere,

Harvests ripen, flowers are fair,

And the whole round earth is bare Which birds Just a Minute!
do you often see
To the moonshine and the sun; every day?

And the live air, fanned with wings, experience and apply

Bright with breeze and sunshine, brings

Into contact distant things,

And makes all the countries one.

Let us wander where we will,

Something kindred greets us still;

Something seen on vale or hill
Falls familiar on the heart;

So, at scent or sound or sight,

Severed souls by day and night

Tremble with the same delight –

Tremble, half the world apart. How are birds,
people and nature

—Robert Louis Stevenson dependent on each
Let’s connect
other?
