An Old Song
“One summers evening, where at my leisure”
One summers evening, wherat my leisure
For sport and pleasure I was bent for fun
I roamed the fields and mossy hills
When pinions yielded to my dog and gun.The charms of nature they were engaging
The grouse and pheasant was on the wing
Down by yon bramble as I did ramble
Where thrushes warble and blackbirds singI seemed ? , till I got excited
By the Cruel vipers who in ambush lay
My heart increasing with amazing perambulations
I took so very long upon my way(continues on next page)- Collector
