Philosophical lyric. Fanciful questions index ultimate concerns. Nature affirms life.
How can you ask the sky
    to be bluer?

Or beg the flowers
    to be truer?

The sky will still be as blue,
    the flowers as true,

And the mocking bird
    will sing its song

When all these questions
    are tried,
          answered
          and gone.
