IT'S "0 TO BE IN ENGLAND!"
It's " O to be in England," Beside an English fire, When her halla are hung with laurel, And the dancers never tire! To draw the circle closer, When the latest guest departs, And the old folk smile upon me With the old love in their hearts.

To thread tho English greenwood, To skim an English wave, It's " O to be in England," If but to find a gravel H. J. B. December 1899.
