To jog down the highway and Jolt over

To take a trip aboard a ship
Across the broad Allan tlo
And sail and sail through calm and gale
Is said to be romantic,
But when In pain with might and main

And plenty of comforts to keen out the

load,
Your laughter and shouts In the distant
hills lost,
And then when tho moon made midnight
nB noon
The homes turned homeward, the wind
might bo raw,
But who would complain when each coun

And as In the distance Its form fades

Wherever you are your mind wanders far
To the old fashioned sled with the box
