[,. Dreaming out Wound.
Ore a sweet boy sat and swung on a limb;
On the groundstood a robin-bird looking at him ;
Now, tho boy he was good, but the robin was bad,
So it shied a big stone at the head of the lad,
And it killed the poor boy, and the robin was glad.
The little boy’s mother flew over the trees :
“Tell me where is my little boy, robin-bird, please ?””
“He is safe in my pocket,"’ the robin-bird said,
And another stone shied at the fond mother's head,
‘And she fell at the feet of the wicked bird, dead.
You imagine, no doubt, that the tale I have mixed;
But it wasn’t by me that the story was fixed;
"Twas a dream a boy had after killing a bird,
And he dreamed it so loud that I heard every word,
And I jotted it down as it really occurred.—Selected.

Now a good ole man named Shafter says tu Teddy and to Wood:
“There’s a Joint called Santiago where we ain’t well understood, pa
So, take yer lJamb-like regiment, and if you are polite
I think yer gentle little ways ll set the matter right.”

So when Teddy’s boys got movin’ and the sun was on the fry,
And the atmosphere was coaxin’ them to lay right down and die,
Some gents from Santiago who wus mad ’chuse they wus thére j
