He was just a little boy on the week's first day.
He was wandering home from Sunday school, and dawdling on 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 overhead, 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 wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God."

"M'm very fine way, for a boy to spend his time, “the neighbor said.
"If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime."

Quick as a flash the answer came! Nor was his accents faint.

"I'll give you a dollar, Mister,
if you can tell me where God ain't."
