They all drift one way, though, out yonder I'll sit!

And wait till the shindying slackens a bit."

Singing dumbledumdeary, &c.

So HODGE, like old HORACE's Rustic, still waits

Till the waters flow by, or their turmoil abates;

And then hopes to reach "Happy Home" o'er that stream.

Let us hope that he mayn't find it only a dream!

Singing dumbledumdeary, dumbledumdeary,

Dumble, dumble, dumbledumdee!
