Between now and my holidays there but remain two solid days,
And thinking where I'll spend my "vac" has driven me wild with worry;
In vain have I surveyed acres of plans and maps and Bædekers,
And purchased a small library of "Handy Guides" of Murray.
Shall I, for want of better, say I'll view the Vierwaldstättersee,
Or watch the Staubbach fall in mist like web of an arachnid?
Or else, the dawn to see, get up o'ernight upon the Righi-top—
But no, I feel that Jödel-land is now a trifle hackneyed!
For a flutter at chemin-de-fer I might (the place is handy) fare
To Trouville, and along the plage a "Milor" on the spree be;
