A DOUBTFUL FELLOW.
. A sense of summer in the air-in |
every birds sweet note,
But never mind my duster, dear-just
mend my overcoat!
The flowers are flaming on the hills,
and loud the thunders roll
But never mind the season, dear
:, just keep on buying coal!
The peach trees shake their blossoms
down the rose reels red and
white;
But never mind the peach trees, dear
just keep the fires bright
And Spring-sweet Spring
here at last with glory ia her
soul,
But never mind the wea/6er, dear
just keep ahead Oh coal!
