Our Journey

We journeyed to Vienna, to Paris and to Wales;

To Norway and to Denmark, by auto and by rails;

To Egypt and to Smyrna, to China and Peru;

To Sweden and to Poland -- explored them through and through!

We traveled on to Naples, to Lisbon and to Rome;

To Dresden and to Athens, and there felt quite at home.

We stopped a while at Belfast, at Calais and at York;

At Argyle and at Limerick to hear the natives talk.

We hurried away to Milo, Palermo and Madrid,

To Corea and Gilead, by big green forests hid.

To Corinth and to Bristol, to Stockholm and to Leeds;

To Carthage and to Cornish, all famed for noble deeds!

Then back by way of Mexico in sunshine and in rain;

And throughout this entire journey -- never left the state of Maine!!
