The Wind.

The wind blows off my lid and
makes me reel and skid, and say
distressing things; it jars me like
the deuce, it blows my whiskers
loose, it swats me and it stings. 1t
comes and takes a fall from my
new parasol, to my intense dis
gust; it blows all kinds of dirt
against my Sunday shirt, and fills
my ears with dust. "Yet blow, O
wind" | say, ''and all the livelong
day your program weird rehearse !;
for if you'd disappear, they'd send
some weather here that would be
nine times worse" If winds
should cease to blow, we'd have
lot of snow, or rain, or hail, or
slush; perhaps thunderbolt
would give my muse jolt. and
make my harpstrings hush. How
ever bad things be, | look on
them with glee, embalming them
in verse; when evil things are
gone, we'll likely see the dawn OF
something twelve times worse. l
look on things like this, and 50
I'm full of bliss, when I'm not
iull of prunes; and all the windy
day | wend my cheerful way, and
MARBLE sprightly tunes.
