A children's poem written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In this poem, a squirrel and a mountain have a quarrel because the mountain feels as though it is more important. Poem The mountain and the squirrel Had a quarrel, And the former called the latter "Little prig." Bun replied, "You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be taken in together To make up a year And a sphere. And I think it no disgrace To occupy my place. If I'm not so large as you, You are not so small as I, And not half so spry: I'll not deny you make A very pretty squirrel track. Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut." For more poems, check out the poems catalog page. Hey, do you write poems?
