TO THE GOOD OLD-FASHIONED PEOPLE

     The deadnin' and the thicket's jes' a b'ilin' full o' June,     From the rattle o' the cricket, to the yaller-hammer's tune;     And the catbird in the bottom and the sap-suck on the         snag,     Seems's ef they cain't—od-rot-'em!—jes' do nothin' else         but brag!     There' music in the twitter o' the bluebird and the jay,     And that sassy little critter jes' a-peckin' all the day;     There' music in the "flicker," and there' music in the         thrush,     And there' music in the snicker o' the chipmunk in the         brush!—     There' music all around me!—And I go back—in a dream     Sweeter yit than ever found me fast asleep:—And, in the          stream     That used to split the medder wher' the dandylions         growed,     I stand knee-deep, and redder than the sunset down the         road.
