"LET'S ENJOY IT!"

I suppose it's old-fashioned To get so impassioned .\. Over things that so oft have been noticed before, To love things as they are,, Old sun, moon, and star, And be glad of their beauFy, and ask nothing more, . To find the old work just as young as of yore: Not to seek to improve it, But merely to love it; Contented that April, has noThing. to Bring But dogwood in bloom, And the violet's perfume, And the same birds come back with the . same songs to sing;— . . ; ■ > Not a single changed note In each old-fashioned throat— And the same little nests and the same busy wing.. And love just the same, Just the same good old game— Quite contented am I to ask no improvements — Since the old world began With a maid and a'man, In spite of amendments and -up-to-date movements. ,Yes ! A thousand times Yes !— The world as it is Is far from amiss, To " reform " would destroy it, Tar bettor enjoy it I : "Judge" —Kiohird Lo Gallioa^
