And | wish and wish and wish
For a month to go out hunting

But the burden of my ditty

When the nightbird's mournful hootins
And the waters fretful swish,
Summon me to go out shooting,
Whisper me to go and fish!

If they'll do you any good
You may run them up to billions,

All l want is just my wish:
