SONG OF THE GOLDEN ROD.

OlHSluS III Jne medQOWJ
Throwing here and there a word,
Here and there shadow,
Gay and merry, bright and fair,
Flower of field and meadow
Drinking in the summer air,
Joying light or shadow.
Happy where-so-e'er we stray,
Lighting up the highway,
Laughing as we slightly sway,
In sunnw field or by-way.
Glancing, dancing in the breeze,
Swinging, tossing, swaying;
Through the simmer of the leaves
With the sunbeams playing;
Fitting light, with fairy wings
Through the roadside grasses,
Greeting every bird that sings,
Or butterfly that passes.
