[FONT=新細明體][/FONT]Everyonegrumbled. The sky was grey.
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And there seemed to be nothing beyond,
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] THEN
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] Daddy fell into the pond!
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] "Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] He's crawling out of the duckweed."
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] Click!
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT]
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And doubled up, shaking silently,
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] O, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] WHEN
[FONT=新細明體][/FONT] Daddy fell into the pond!

Could anybody please explain what the following sentences mean?
1. And there seemed to be nothing beyond,
2. And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
