UNCLE SAM.

THE GEESE THAT CAME OVER THE LEA.

We talked and we laughed
As we went to the sea,
When an army of geese
Came over the lea,
With a cack, cack, cackle,
And a pat, pat, patter;
And, oh, what a fright
We were in, all three!
Which were the greater geese,—
Just we three,
Or the army of geese
That came over the lea?
