 Dropped, one by one, in Peter's way,
 * The little red cherries, cool and moist.

And Peter stooped to them where they lay.
 * And ate them; and his heart rejoiced.

 * "To little things he who will not bend.

Perhaps to matters of smaller size— Nor silver nor gold, nor jewel prize,—
 * May learn to stoop down before the end."
