"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,

"The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies."

While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,

Crying to the moo--oo--oon,

"if only, if only."

It explains why Stanley is lonely and has few friends at home.
It gives the reader a better understanding of the lullaby Stanley’s father sings.
It indicates that both Sarah and Stanley are good writers.
