THE CHANGE.
A Ballad.
He lived in the country,
Where the fruit trees grow,
Where the grass Is green
And the farmers sow;
And he seemed content
With the passive life,
Void of a care
Or thought of strife,
And all day long s.
On the farmhouse lawn
He'd gambol away
Until nearly dawn.
He went to the city
Where the buildings grow,
Where the passwords green
And the motto Go"
But he seemed content
With his boisterous life
And he settled in business
And caught a wife
While all night long
This hayseed Drawn
Still gambled away
Until nearly dawn.
