We are little airy creatures,
All of diffrent voice and features;
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you'll find in jet,
T'other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within,
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.
Classic Poetry--"The Vowels: An Enigma" (Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745)
