He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.
He was wandering home from Sunday School,
and dawdling along the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler."
A bird's nest in a tree over head, so wisely placed on high
Was just another wonder, that caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day, and what was going on.
"I've been to Bible School," he said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggley worm, replying, "I've learned a lot of God."
"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime."
Quick as a flash the answer came! Nor were his accents faint,
"I'll give you a dollar Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't!"
