Maine Gossip
Land of Pleasant Dreams.


Some day when WEAKNESS fills US with
tear,
Some day together we'll wander, my
Some day through shadows and out to
the sun
In the country of dreams and laughter
and fun.
The country of. pleasant and beautiful
dreams, $50, =,
OF hills over valleys that are bound by
sweet streams
That flow through the bottom and sing
To the hearts of the weary that rest by
the way.
Some day when the shadows are lifted
Some day together we'll go with smile,
Hand elasped in hand and our neaas u
the blue, ,ov,,s NO
Above the sweet country OF oFedhe' nv
and you.
