A BOY'S SUMMER SONG
'TIS fine to playIn the fragrant hay,And romp on the golden load; To ride old Jack To the barn and back,Or tramp by a shady road. To pause and drink, At a mossy brink;Ah, that is the best of joy, And so I say On a summer's day,What's so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha!
With line and hook By a babbling brookThe fisherman's sport we ply; And list the song Of the feathered throngThat flit in the branches nigh.
At last we strip For a quiet dip;Ah, that is the best of joy. For this I say On a summer's day,What's so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha!
