A jest the saucy chipmonk flings,

As I go lightly on my way.

As I go lightly on my way

The brook trips by with dancing feet,

And Song and Laughter soft repeat

Their cadence as I watch its play;

And whispers low the wind, and sweet,

As I go lightly on my way.

CHARLES E. JENNEY,
in Country Life in America, September, 1902.
