For, no matter whether valleys and hills,
Its in saddles or satchels or In his shoes he can travel

And he'll find them delightful That he bought for them far,

The fishers hunt,
From trip to trip,

But hard they toil
To catch your fish.



THE CARPENTER.

How many things the carpenter makes!
What should we do without him?

| See where he whistles and works at his bench,
While the shavings tumble about him.

First from the forests, thick and high,
Comes the fragrant wood,

Which for timber first is cut,
Dragged from where it stood.
Then ‘tis sawn for joists and planks,

And as lumber goes,
Fitted for most useful things,
As the Carpenter shows.
