“ I yearned to take a trip abroad
So dad and ma and I
Bought tickets for a foreign tour,
And bade our friends good-by.
Wa took our brand-new car along
But didn’t bring it back,
Some soldiers seized it when the guns
At Liege commenced to crack.
“ We left our baggage all behind
To catch a cattle train
(My things will be old fashioned when
We get those trunks again;)
And we who went first cabin out
Across the briny blue,
Came back in stuffy steerage berths,
And glad to have them, too.
“ 1 never thought that I would weep
For joy to see once more
The bobbing little ferry-boats
Of Staten Island’s Bhore;
Or that against the smoky sky
The black, serrated line
Of old Manhattan’s jumbled roofs
Could ever look so fine.
“ Poor ma will be a nervous wreck
She vows for all her days.
And dad gets purple in the face.
And glares at me and says:
We wouldn’ t have been there to feel
The war cloud when it burst.
If we had seen America,
Our native country, first.”
