T
The horse that carried Miss Kilmansegg
The moon—the moon, so silver and cold
The stars are with the voyager
The swallow with summer
Though Shakspeare asks us, “What’s in a name?”
Tis a stern and startling thing to think
To gratify stern ambition’s whims
To trace the Kilmansegg pedigree
Twas in that mellow season of the year
Twas in the prime of summer-time
Twas morn—a most auspicious one!
W
When leaving Eden’s happy land
Who hath not met with home-made bread
With fingers weary and worn
