in Just-
spring         when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame baloonman

whistles         far         and wee

and eddyandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old baloonman whistles
far          and         wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
                the

                                goat-footed

baloonMan                 whistles
far
and
wee

1920
