THE ARTIST.

An artist came last night to town,
And worked while we all slept.
All here and there, and up and down,
AT work he steadily kept.
And when the morning came, and
light,
saw with admiring gaze,
All DER the panes, a pretty sight,
That filled me, with amaze.
That artist chap DER all the glass,
Had drawn with wondrous skill,
Flowers and ferns, leaves and tall
grass,
Castles, turrets, valley and hill.
I've seen some pictures in my day,
BY artists both great and small,
And this plain truth l have to say,
Jack Frost can beat them all.
