| | From “By Hill and Dale”
GRAMPA SCHULER, when he was young, | |
| Had a crest of hair, and shining eyes. | |
| He wore red-flowered waistcoats, | |
| Wild Byronic ties. | |
| The whole land of Germany | 5 |
| Wasn’t wide enough!— | |
| He ran away one night, when winter | |
| Seas were fierce and rough. | |
| |
| He has a sleek farm here | |
| With already a settled air. | 10 |
| He’s patriarchal, with his sons | |
| And daughters round him everywhere, | |
| His son’s son Jim has fiery eyes— | |
| He wants to go where the land is new! | |
| Grampa bitterly wonders: “What are | 15 |
| Young fools coming to!” | | | | |
