And Jenny the maid keeps laughing,
And tells me I'm the naughtiest of boys,
For mamma is so quietly sleeping.

which is grown extensively for ornament
and shade in some localities of Georgia

abundantly, somewhat after the manner
of moantain ash in northern latitndes,
birds collect upon it in great numbers
