If ever should be man,
If ever should be man.

will be.
All scenes of nature admire
None else so smiling seem,
The shady nook, the 1owery Grove.
And little silver stream.
But those who lead CITY life,
These beauties seldom see
If ever l should be man.
II ever should be man.
| Chorus.

If ever should be man.
If ever [ should be man.
