There is so much to say
With complicated reasons
And the varieties of way
In new and yearly seasons
We have but a little while
To say our thoughts and mind
To walk the distant mile
Before those hours are behind
Blessed are the interrelations
Of every village and tree
There is so much graduation
In there thoroughly to see
Where brook is flowing freely
Breezing whispering leaves
Water streams colors steely
The greenery fields and sleeve.

An interesting facts about Camel;
1. The name comes from the Arabic word meaning "beauty".
2. A camels hump does not store water. It stores fat, lessening heat-trapping insulation around the rest of the body.
3. One reason they can go long periods without water is the shape of their red blood cells. These are oval so will flow when they are dehydrated rather than clumping as ours do. The camel is the only mammal to have oval red blood cells.
4. Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water in one go.
5. Their temperature ranges from 34 degrees celsius at night to 41 degrees during the day. They don't begin to sweat until they are over 41 degrees.
6. Camels lie down to rest and sleep (and good luck getting them up if they decide they don't want to).
7. Camels lips are split to help them graze.
8. They can eat anything including thorny twigs without injuring their mouths.
9. Camels can kick in all four directions with each of their legs.
10. They can close their nostrils against wind and sand when necessary.
11. The shape of their nostrils allows them to retain water vapor and return it to the body as fluid.
12. They can lose 25% of their body fluids without getting dehydrated. Most mammals can only lose 15%.
13. Camels are ruminants like cows and goats.
14. Eating green plants give them the moisture they need without drinking.
15. Their coat reflects sunlight and insulates it from the desert heat.
16. One of the camel's defenses is 'spitting' where they essentially throw up a foul smelling greenish fluid from their stomach all over you when provoked. For those who have experienced it, it seems never ending and is never forgotten.
17. Camel feces are so dry they are used for fuel and their urine is as thick as syrup.
18. The camel is the only animal to replace the wheel (N. Africa) when the wheel was already established.
19. Camels have been used in wars throughout history, especially in the desert regions.
