A Song (continued)
“This song was composed,”
(continued from previous page)and safe may they land
They're leaving their homes for a far distant land
Here in this country no longer can stay
In thousands they're sailing to America.
A Song
“This world is all a bubble”
This world is all a bubble no matter where you go
There is nothing here but trouble hard-ship toil and woe
Go where you will, do what you may, but you are never free from care.
At the best this world is but a castle, in the air.
