Against the old earths smelly breast,
Yes, I've a notion that is best.
To go and lie
Where trees drop whispers down to me,
And where the droning of the bee
Shall soothe my mind. and over me
The azure sky.
Some folks might go where willows swish
In the swift tide, and sit and fish:
But, as for me, 1 only wish
To be afar
Where there is not a thing to do,
Where dreamy cows their cuds do chew.
Out where the skies are always blue,
And blossoms are
It's me to leave the walled-in ways.
The chimney roofs. the world in stays.
For mother barded, glad days
No stays in mine.
Just give me Nature glad and true
In unconfining peek-a-boo
That every dimple flashes through;
Each curve and line.
Just let me snuggle to her side
And lie and doze and dream and bide
With her; let trades resistless tide
Sweep by afar,
I care not cen to hear the whirr
OF trades swift wheels, the jar and stir
OF trade at all. I'll lie and purr
Where shadows are.
This smuggling Np to nature is all
right, Jud.. but:
Whenever 1 lie down to purr
Where vagrant winds the grasses stir,
Forthwith I hear a warning whirr-
A bumblebee,
The angry hum of beating wings
Upon the zephyred breezes springs
About million ants and things
Are after me!
When lie down upon the bank,
Where grows the clover sweet and rank
My bull dog jumps on me ke-spank!
Get down you houn'!"

And end by saying. most abrup':

): 1907: by Byron Williams.

Suppose.
A horse was driving a man one day
With high check-rein and bit.
The way long and the road was
rough
And the man not fat nor fit.
The horse yelled, "G'wan" with biting
blow
OF whip with knotted tip,
And jerlxed the lines with a cruel hand
Til the blood stood on his lip.
The man was worn and the stones were
sharp
Oh, his clothes were wet with foam
But rougher still he was urged along
With curse toward his homei
Beside the road was n singing rin
And the throat OF the man was sore,
But not a draught would the driver grant
AS he piled the lash the more.
On. on they went Ger the cobbled way
With stagg' ring step and jerk,
To stand at last by the brothel door
Where the imps of Satan lurk.
The man stood long in the scOrching sun
While the horse filled up his hide.
Then came again to the cringing slave
And he kicked him in the side
Knock-kneed and old with broken wind
Is the man turned out TO die
The brutal horse has younger man
To jump at his vicious cry.

On a beast that serves you well.
