I've been away from business,
And hud a splendid time,
With ma iv a p e is. n r ver sail
And many a mountain climb;
I’ ve rcsted’ neath the spreading t ees,
And watched the granting lo rds;
I’ ve heard the plashing waterfall
And nit rr -li ar ed birds;
Rut now for homo I rattle on
Along the dusty track.
