Stretch great branches to the sky

Where the green leaves toss and flutter

As the summer days go by,

Dwell a crowd of little people,

Ever racing up and down,

Bright eyes glancing, gray tails whisking;

This is known as Squirrel Town.

Bless me, what a rush and bustle,

As the happy hours speed by!

Chatter, chatter—chatter, chitter,
