A HAY MHUM

(C.ntiili. by I,mlie A. Miigoon,

The "River of Doubt,"

So much talked about,

Is a beautiful sweet day dream.

Let us cease to prate

And never berate

This flowing Brazilian stream.

Beautiful river—

Wiiere sunbeams quiver

On its quivering, placid breast;

Where water birds swim

Until day is dim.

Or thereon so quietly rest.

Oh. land of delight!

So fair and so bright,

Where each glade and mountain

and lea

Teams with monkeys galore

And parrots that soar—

nright land of the bug and the

flea!

The river is there

Bo placid and fair—

Tli)', noble Brazillian stream;

And. the 'gators lie

Beneath the blue sky

On the shores of that sweet day

dream.
