THE HUNTRESS
But why did she lead such a life as this,
Why not dwell in the world of the gay?
Ah, the gay world had taught her a lesson severe,
And she left the gay home one day;
And now she lives far out in the woods
With God and nature alone.
And Nellie, the huntress was as happy—quite—
As a queen is on her throne.
