Life will wake with love and light,

Joyous, joyous everywhere.

HOT?—WELL, RATHER!

The sun come peekin’ crost the hills

With round, red, shinin’, smilin’ face

That broadened to a grin from ear

To ear,—a most perdigeous space!

Then he showed his teeth an’ slapped his sides

An’ laughed an’ shook with all his might

To think how ’tarnal hot ’t’ould be
