THE OLD FASHION BEDSTEAD-.
The fashioned bedstead How well
l recall it!
Uprearing in spare room of grand

Quadrupedal giant! Its stature so tall
Seemed lifting to heaven its snowy
expanse.
All! How can 1 Danish that first

A wild running jump from the old
mantelpiece,
And like Alpine climber by effort

And 1 prayed all the night to the great

To save me from Earring some over

And certain am l that for life I'd been
fated
To stay there, had some one not heard

And brought in a ladder and thus con-

My flight from that bedstead in
grandfather's manse.
