Wal, ef it's so, amt ag0iu to weuit,
For tn ole Quecn's-arm hez this peIticklcr merit

To kin o make its viii sfoTe dischaTsin:
To kin O make out but jest one ginne rule
No need go an make himself q fool

About good for taikin TO ez men;
They'n take edyce, ike other folks, 10 keep,

They listen wal, don kick up when you scold 'e1n,
An eff they ye tongues bey sense enough to hold emj
Though III amt no denger we shall loose the breed,

An when my sappincss gifts spTy IN spnng
50 st my tongue itches TO run on full swing,

Warm ez lyceun-autence in their gteetln,
An pleased to hear my spoutin' frum the fence
Comm, OF I docs entirely free 7 expense.
This year made the follerin' observations
Extrump ~, like most other trl'ls o patience,
An no reporters bein' sent express
To work their abstracts up into mess
Ez like the ondg nal eZ q woOdcut pictur'
Thet chokes the life out like a boy -constrictor,
ve writ EN- out, an so avido all jeal sizes
'Twxt nonsense o my own an some one esss'
MY feller kcbbige-heads who look 30 green,
I vow TO gracious thet CT ! could dreen
Tho world of all its hearers but inst you,
II would leave bout all tba is wuth talkin TO,
An you, my venerable frien's, tibet show
Upon your crowns a sprnklin March snow,
Ez Of mild Time had christened every sense
For VISIONS church o. second innocence,
Nut Ages winter, no, no sech thing,
But Jest kin o. slippin' back o Spring
We've gathered here ez uShle TO decide
Which is the Lord 5 an which Is Satan's side
Coz ell the good or evil thet can heppen
Ii long O. which on 'em you choose for Gappen.
Aprnl g come back the swellin' buds Of oak
Dim the fur hillsides with purplish smoke
The brooks are loose an singing TO be seen,
plke gals, make all the holers soft an greeni
The birds are here, for all the season . lstei
They take the suns height an, don never wait;
Soon q he officially declares II s Spring
Their light hearts iift 'em on northard wing,
An tn amt an acre, fur OF you can hear
Can't by the music tell the time O. year;
But thet white dove Carliny scared away,
Five year ago, les sech an April day;
Peace that we hoped 'ould come an build last year
An coo by every housedoor, is MT here
No nor won't never be, for all our Jaw,
Till We re ez brave in polite ez in war
o Lord Of folks wus made 90 o = they could see
The bagnet-pnt there is to an idee
Ten timos the danger in 'em tn is In steel
They run your soul thru an you never fcel,
But crawl about an seem TO think you re Twin,
Poor shells o. men, nut with the Lords forgiyin,
Till you come bunt agn real live fact,
An go to pieces when you'd ough' TO act
Thet kin o begnet's wut we re crossia' now,
An no man, nj te nevyigste q scow,
'0ud stan expectin help from Kingdom Come
While { Other side druy their cold iron home.
MY friens you never gethered from my mouth,
No, nut one word sgin the South OF South,
Nor tn amt liFin' man, white, brown, nor black,
BLADDER n Wut should be TO take en- back;
But ell I ask of Uncle Sam is fust
Give Us cash down in exile laws for ALL
An they II DO snng inside afore mex fall.
Give vut they ask, an we shell heNJamaker
with minus someponsid able an stre;
Give wut they need, an we shell git fore long
A nation all one piece, rich, peaceac, strong;
Make EN- Ameriki1 an they II begin
10 love their country they loved their sin
Let 'em stay Southun an you've KEEP o sore
Ready 10 tester or il done afore
No uorte man can boast Of perhc' vision
But the one moleblin' thing Is lndecision
An tn amt no futuT for the man nor state
Thet out Of j-u-s-t can't spell great
Some folks 'ould call thet nddike; do you7
II woz oommonscnse afore the war wuz thru
Thef loaded all our guns an made 'em speak
