“In
winter, when the fields are white,
I
sing this song for your delight -
“In
spring, when woods are getting green,
I'll
try and tell you what I mean.
“In
summer, when the days are long,
Perhaps
you'll understand the song:
“In
autumn, when the leaves are brown,
Take
pen and ink, and write it down.”— Children’s book author
and mathematician Charles L. Dodgson, a.k.a. Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), “Humpty
Dumpty's Recitation,” in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871)
