OHIO HARM ONY

The mother grooming to her child
lullaby refrain
Produces by comparison
A harsh discordant strain.
The hymns which on the Sabbath air
Rise soft and sweet and clear
Must as a tuneless jangle seem
To every Buckeye ear.
The melody celestial
Sung by the morning stars
Beside Ohio's blessed calm
But breaks the peace and jars.
For, when all these pretentions claim,
Away they must be laughed
Compared unto the harmony
'Twixt Foraker and Taft.
