Newell: The American Traveller
The country all about Pinch Gut
So beautiful did seem
That the beholder thought it like
A picture in a dream.
But the plantations near Burnt Coat
Were even finer still,
And made the wondering tourist feel
A soft delicious thrill.
At Tear Shirt, too, the scenery
Most charming did appear,
With Snatch It in the distance far,
And Purgatory near.
But, spite of all these pleasant scenes,
The tourist stoutly swore
That home is brightest, after all,
And travel is a bore.
So back he went to Maine straightway:
A little wife he took;
And now is making nutmegs at
Moosehicmagunticook.
ROBERT H. NEWELL
I HAVE NO PAIN
I have no pain, dear mother, now,
But Oh! I am so dry;
Just fetch your Jim another quart
To wet the other eye.
