Yet none I've crossed can e'er compare
With the hills Of old Peru.
Here live the beasts love the best
The dog, the sheep, the deer;
Here jump the colts DER wall and
fence,
And here drive my steer.
My playmates here are all brave boys,
In whom | we'll take pride;
And, when dad will give the chance,
| take them out to ride.
My teachers here are all first class,
Who make me toe the mark;
And when ! fail to do my stunt,
They keep me after dark.
Here would | live through all my life,
Here spend the night and day;
For nowhere else can mortal find,
So grand place to play.
