LA TOUCHE HANCOCK. 



Ah, while you are on your vacation, 



And I'm roasting and sizzling here, 

 I can yet say without hesitation 



I'm having a lot of good cheer. 

 In my mind I picture the ceiling 



An exquisite, beautiful sky, 

 And I have a most curious feeling, 



That the bed is a bank, where I lie 

 And dream of the meadows, and flowers ; 

 And the draughts are the breezes that blow 

 Through ecstatic lovers' sweet bowers ; 



While streams from the water jug flow. 

 The floor is the grass ; and the sparrows 



Are the sweet voiced, summer song 

 birds ; 

 I almost can feel Cupid's arrows. 



While my heart is too happy for words. 

 But this is mere nonsense! I'm dreaming! 



This year I've a penniless doom, 

 And I wake from these pictures of seem- 

 ing 



In my wretched $1 hall room.
