The Hunt
Out for the .possum' hunt we
started; .
Boo! into the dark we darted;
Out with a dog and gun;"
Oh! just to have the fun;
Across the hills and through the
wood;
To catch the game oh so good;
Over the roughs and across the
valley;
Just to hunt and dalley;
To sit in the' rays of the big moon
And listen at our dogs tree a big
coon;
As we get the game ftom the
tree; ,
It makes me think of times
use to be;
Hush! it seems I hear a
, howling:
that
wolf
As through the woods
prowling;
we are1
But lo, It was the wind in

Like the sound of many honey
bees;
We are listening here, and listen
ing there;
We are listening, listening: every
where; v
To hear our dogs tree a coon;
By tbe light of the wonderful
moon;
It was all to our surprise;
We could hard'y believe our eyes;
In the midst of our fright;
You rarely see the sight;
Of a big fat coon;
Which we caught by the light of
the moon;
Alter we had caught , our oos
sum and coon;
Then it was we began to grin.
right soon;
We began to hoop and to hollow;
Soon we saw old nancy collar;
We passed by the apple orchard,
on our way;
Just before the break of day;
We had our apples, possum and I
