- A Song made by James McEntyre Behamore about a worm that was brought over accidentally to America from Ireland in a sod containing Shamrocks
I
It was on a bright September's morn
Beneath the flowery Shade
A little worm of Common hue
His winter's home was made
Within a green and fertile sod
With wild flowers will be decked
A nicer place wherein to dwell
He hardly could expect
II
And as he roamed his new demesne
He though in heedless glee
In all this land no worm has
As nice a place as me
For I'll be dry and warm now
Until the winter's spent
No hungry bird will find me here
So now I am content
III
The breezy lake will me awake
When Spring does return
So here I'm sure I am secure
I have no cause to mourn(continues on next page)
