I used to like to ioiter

1 On the hillside In the spring,
When leaf an bud an all o. that
Made lark and linnet sing.
JUS loungin on the shady side
| or beech and other trees
An scentin' sweet perfumeries
That foated with the breeze,
| An JUS layin' there an idlin,
Kinder restin on one leg
| An playin' that old boyish game.
The game OF humble peg.
Right down the mossy ridge a piece.
The way ] used 10 go,
The dogwood spread its petals like
I Lingerin' flakes OF snow,
An lazily an dreamily.
Hedged In the pretty shrine
/ used 10 often loiter with
| dear old friend of mine,
| jus layin' round and idlin',
Kinder restin' on one leg,
An playin' that old boyish game,
| The game OF humble peg.
I Softly from the memories
or all the yesteryears
i gather smiles. an laughter, an
But mostly-mostly tears!-
| I'd like TO loiter once again,
About the break o. spring,
When leaf an bud an all o. that
Make lark and linnet sing.
JUS layin' round and idlin',
Kinder restin' on one leg,
JUS play once more with my old friend
The game of humble peg.
