Three elGns who live in a fairylike nook,
And never had seen any boys,
Once read of our Fourth of July in a book.
And promptly their W quiet woodlands
forsook,
To share in the fun and the noise.
By the light of the moon they crept out on
the sky
And merrily sang on their way,
Asking politely of each passerby
How far they must go to meet Fourth OF
July,
Till they came to the dawn of day.
What a different song these three elfns
As III. they limp3ed their way homeward
They had heard how the bells in the
steeples go "Clang!"
Torpedoes and crackers go "Rattlety
bang!"
And the rockets go up out of sight.
For one little elfin by chance got astride
Of a giant torpedo nearby;
On a huge cannon cracker the next took a
ride;
Number three to the tail of a rocket was
tied,
And all three were blown up there sky
high.
On the way coming down each el6n de
clared
He had seen quite enough of the sky,
And promised himself, if he lived to be
spared,
He would stay there on Fourth of July.
Yet this was not all, for they met on the
road
