I am Jolly tree toad, upon chesnut tree;
| chirp, because know that the night was made


for me;
The young bat flies above me, the glcw-worm


shines below,
And the owlet sits to hear me, and half ftorgets his
Pm lighted by the hrc-hy, in circles wheeling


round,
The katy did is silent, and listens to the sound,
The jack -lantern leads the way-worn traveller


astray,
To hear the tree toad's melody until the break Of


day.
The harvest moon hangs over me, and smiles up


OIL the streams;
The lights dance upward from the north, and


cheer me with their beams;
The dew ofheaven, it comes to me as sweet as


beauty's tear;
The stars themselves shoot down to see what mu-


sic we have here.
The winds around me whispers to ev'ry flower
that blows,
To droop their heads, call in their sweets and ev.


cry leaf to close;
The whipperwll sings to his mate the mellow
melody:
ooh bark, and hear the notes that flow from yon
der chcsnut tree
Yc katy-dids and whipperwills, come listen to me


now;
am Jolly tree toad upon chesnut bough;
chir,, because know that the night was made


for me-
And close my proposition with O. z. d.
