then have prospered, bet and I've my

The Ragtine Muse

HEE SEEN A LOT.
I've seen the swirling ocean
Come laundering up the beach
And rivers in commotion
Go racing reach on reach;
I've seen the fair sun shining
Above the storm and wrack
I've watched where men were mining
In caverns deep and black.
I've watched girls making toffee
Old Santa's pack to fill;
I've watched man harvest coffee
In Java and Brazil;
I've seen the Berbers selling
Their coursers swift and sleek,
And little brown men telling
Mahogany and teak.
Upon the Danube River
I've looked with ravished eyes;
rye gazed with soul a-quiver
On Italy's fair skies;
I've stared with awe and wonder
On Fujiyama's height;
I've seen auroras sunder
The north with blades of light.
Some folks decry my pleasure,
My want of thrift deplore;
Expenses I should measure
And nurse my income more.
Though panics shake the nation,
While I've dime it goes
To round my education
At moving picture shows!
