I wish I had a paintbox
Containing every shade -
Hues and colors for everything
From open field to forest glade.

And what would I do with this batch of paint?
Tints and colors of every variety?
Why, of course, I'd paint the world
In all its notoriety.

But this box I'll never have,
And I'm not sure it should be desired
For no mortal could do this job,
No matter how inspired.
