An Electric Flash .


A joyful day is coming soon,
'Tis whispered near and far,
When up and down our shaded streets
Shall roll the trolley car.
Appointments then will all be met,
For swift as flashing fires,
Wen rush along from place to place
Drawn by electric wires.
So here's goodbye to weary feet,
Wen never walk too far,
For everywhere we want to go
Wen take the trolley car
'Tis true our streets are none too wide,
And turns are frequent, too,
While hills of every height and grade
Present themselves to view.
But what are trifles such as these
Before comets dash?
Wen pass up High street, so they say,
Just like lightning flash.
'Tis true we mourn our pleanant streets
For such use bestowed,
And wonder why private guild
Should use the public road.
It's true we love our children dear,
And yield them, with a sigh,
To pave the way for trolley cars
So swiftly passing by.
It's true our charming country town
VIII never seem so fair,
With changing bells along the way
And car tracks everywhere.
But all regrets, we've been informed,
Will worse than useless be,
Electric cars are bound to come,
AS, if we live, wen see.
SO here's goodbye to weary feet,
Don't ever walk too far,
But everywhere you want to go
Just take the trolley car.
