He bent right down to pick up his valise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
The frisian Isles my friends are cherised things
When flame a form to wrath ancestral gave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
