BILL MOSQUITO.

And when the sultry night Is born
Along the Harlem River.
And frogs pipe out their lays forlorn
Down where the rushes CULVER,
We may expect visit from
That big and wild man eater.
Known by his gentle, lulling hum
As merry Bill Mosquito,
Each night he's sure to make a call
on balmy winds he's wirging,
And then he sits up the wall
To soothe you with his singing
But ere you sleep he's nipped your nose,
Perhaps because it's SweeteT
And YOU may smash the bed with blows.
But never Bill Mosquito.
