Song of the Oyster Land.
By a Longing Fellow.
“Oysters are abnormally dear in the New York market.” Daily News.
Into the Oyster Land!
Ah! who shall lead us thither?
Our hopes from the New World now pale and wither,
There is no joy in Cheapside and the Strand.
Who’ll lead us with a friendly hand,
Thither, oh thither,
Into the Oyster Land?
