In thi Kaf-falling month of October
,
W'e left sunny Texas so fair.
And when we arrived where the Oregon
rolls
It was rain, only rain everywhere.

And I said “ alas for Texas!
Oh! I cannot bear to stay,”
Bat now all the gold in Texas
Could not lure me away.
For here are fruits o f ev’ ry form.
And lofty cedar trees,
And 'mid the llow'rs o f uv'ry kind
Hwarm millions of honey-bees.
Here never blows the ruder storm*
But sighs the fresh sea breeze
And seated in my little skid
1 go where'er 1 please.
The hills are crown'd with clover,
Still tempting one to roam,
Hut 1 stray away but rarely,
For I love to stay at home.
Yes, I love my new home dourly,
A sigh comes to tell me theu,
That were 1 back in Texas
I would only leave again!
