Uncle Wiggily follows a singing tree toad in the dark and learns the creature can sing. The toad, a tree frog, charms him with a trill before inviting him home. The tale ends with a teaser for another story and a lighthearted aside about a rug and washing.
The poem recalls the poet Edgar A. Guest and uses a seasonal scene to reflect on winter hush. Imagery centers on elms undressing, beds of phlox and dahlia, a lingering zinnia, and a motherly figure tidying before a cold, silent garden. Snow gathers as birds vanish and March seems distant.
