Where all the earth is level ground.
And go neither UP nor down
For many marshy miles around
Where golfers play

And sheep In locust hordes abound;
From Hythe's MarteIIo split and lone
There is a vein OF ore to-day
OF wealth TO Klondike yet unknown!

And sheep and pigs
And farms 10 all the winds thrown.

And pain but seldom raeked my head.

And take Kipling as their guide?
Tis plain that here
Are Joys. good cheer.
Rude health and riches, all allied.
