Song OF the Springs.
ny JOHN q. SAKE,

pray, what do they do at the SpringsH ?"
The question is easy to ask
But TO answer it fully, my dear,
Were rather a serious task.
And yet, in bantering way,
-, AS the magpie or mocking bird sings
Ill venture bit OF song ..
10 tell what they do at the Springs
ImprimiS, my darling, they drink
The waters so sparkling aod clear
Though the flavor is none of the best,
Aud the Odor exceedingly queer
But the fluid is mingled you know,
With wholesome medical things,
SO they drink, and they drink, aud they drink
Aud that's what they do at the SpriHgs!
Then with appettes keen as a knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine
(The latter precisely at three
The former seven till nine.
1e Gods what rustic and rush
When the eloquent dinner bell rings
Then they eat, and they eat, and they eat
And that's what they do at the Springs
Now they stroll in the beautiful walks,
Or loll in the shade of the trees
Where many whisper is heard ..
That never is told by the breeze
And hands are commingled with hands,
Regardless Of conjuga rings ;s
And they ilirt, and they flirt, aud they fiirt-
Aud that's what they do at the Springs
The drawing rooms now are a-blaze,
And music is shrieking away
TERPsIcHoRE governs the hour,
And FASHION was never 80 gay
And arm round tapering waist
How closely and fondly it clings
30 they waltz, and they waltz, and they waltz
And that's what they do at the Springs I!
In short-as it goes in the world
They eat, aud they drink, and they sleeps
They talk, aud they walk, aud they WOO
They sigh, and they laugh, and they weep
They read, and they ride, and they dance
with other unspeakable thinks y
They pray, and they play and they pay-
Aud that's what they do at the Springs
