Debris 14

Part of the cluster DEBRIS.

I WILL take an egg out of the robin's nest in the  
 orchard, I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush  
 in the garden, and go and preach to the world; You shall see I will not meet a single heretic or  
 scorner, You shall see how I stump clergymen, and confound  
 them, You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, and a  
 white pebble from the beach.

Part of the cluster DEBRIS.
