Because her soft and rich-toned voice

Is going all the time.

A CITY DWELLER’S WISH

I love the leaf of the old oak-tree,

I love the gum of the spruce,

I love the bark of the hickory,

And I love the maple’s juice.

On the walnut’s grain I fondly dote,

On the cherry’s fruit I’d dine,

And I love to lie in a narrow boat,
