The poem explores various natural phenomena through a series of questions posed by the speaker. They wonder why the grass is green, the wind is never seen, who teaches birds to build nests and trees to rest. Further questions inquire about where the missing piece of the moon goes, who lights the stars and makes lightning flash. The last lines ask what the speaker's father knows that he won't tell them.

1. I Wonder…
I wonder why Kirby
Jeannie
the grass is green,
And why the wind
is never seen?

2. Who taught the birds
to build a nest,
And told the trees
to take a rest?

3. O, when the moon
is not quite round,
Where can the missing
bit be found?

4. Who lights the stars,
when they blow out,
And makes the lightning
flash about?

5. Who paints the rainbow
in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy
clouds so high?

6. I Wonder…
What is it now, Kirby
Jeannie
do you suppose,
That Dad won’t tell me,
if he knows?
