Like Orpheus the trees I charm,
And set the hedgerows dancing;
With here a forest, there a farm
Retiring and advancing.
I draw them all along, and thread
The counties everywhere,
As men must have their daily bread,
So I my daily fare.
Chambers' Journal.
Another imitation (and a very long one) of the same original, appeared in Punch, October 11, 1884, and a parody entitled The Mill was in Judy, April 26, 1884.
