Lord of all moving things
Speeding on brazen wings.
Gayiy dash through the highways bright CLEAN.
Vital its Quiverings.
AS go flashing past meadow and strearni
Loudly my heart doth sing

Puising in time to the motors swift beat
Bidding the rushing Wind
Bear 1t away To some distant retreat
Madly the horn l sound

Shooting like comet with long tail OF dust
Scarcely my JOY they share.
Hope your darned auto will dry up and bustI"
