A Parody

by An Old Bachelor

From The Grand River Times

1857-03-04

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That rounds my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where women fret no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some "holler in the ground,"
Where babies never yell,
And cradles are not found?
The loud wind blew the snow into my face,
And snickered as it answered—"Nary place."

Tell me, thou misty deep,
Whose billows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some Island far away,
Where weary men may find
A place to smoke in peace,
Were crinoline is not,
And hoops are out of place!
The loud waves, sounding a perpetual shout,
Stopt for a while, and spluttered, "Yeou git eout."

And thou serenest moon,
That, with such holy face,
Dost look upon the girls
With their beaux embrace,
Tell me, in all thy round,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where muslin is not known,
And calico is not?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And a voice sweet but sad responded, "Pooh!"

Tell me, my secret soul—
Oh! tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From women, girls and death?
Is there no happy spot
Where bachelors are blessed,
Where females never go,
And may dwell in peace?
Faith, Hope and Truth—best boons to mortals given—
Waved their bright wings, and answered, "Yes, in Heaven!"

tted. ell me ye winged winds?
That around my pathway blow.
"Do ye not know some" Grange
Where women never go
Some valley lone and strange,
Some "holler" in the ground,
Where men cofld have a grange alone,
And not a woman 'round
The cold wind "blew the snow into his face,
And blustering, it auswered "nary ptace.
Tell me thou mighty deep,
Whose billows 'round me play,
Knowest thou some favored spot,
Some land, far, far away-
Where anxious man could find
A Grange to join in peace;
Where woman's hats are not,
And pin-backs are out of place?
"The lond waves sounding a perpetual shout
Stop't for a while, then sputtered"
"You git out."
And thou, sweet silver moon,
That with such holy facea
Dost took apon the girls
We meet in every place;
Tell me, in all your change.
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where men could have a grange
And calico be not?
"Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And in a voice both sweet and sad, re­
sponded"
"No sir'ee! oh' no!"
"Tell me, my troubled heart
Oh I tell me Hope and" Faith,
Is there no safe retreat
From woman, girls and death?
Is there no heppy Grange,
Yhere men are ever free:
Where woman could not come,
If se, where can it be?
"Faith, Hope and Truth, best boon to mor­
tals given,
Wave their bright wands an answered "no;"
There are women, too, in heaven

Tell me, ye winged winds
That round my pathway blow,
Do ye not know some grange
here women never go?
Some valley lone and strange,
Some "holler in the ground."
Where men could have a grange alone
And not a woman round?
The cold winds blew the snow into his face,
And blustering, it answered, "nary place."
Tell me, ye mighty deep,
Whose billows round me play,
Knowest thou not some favored spot,
Some land, far, far away,
Where anxious man could find
A grange to join in peace;
Where women's hats are not,
And pinbacks out of place?
The loud waves sounding a perpetual shout,
Stop'pd for awhile, then spluttered "you git out."
And thou, sweet silver moon,
That with such holy face,
Dost look upon the girls
We meet in every place:
Tell me, in all your change,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where men could have a grange
And calico be not?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And in a voice both sweet and sad responded:
"No sir-ee, oh, no!"
Tell me, my troubled heart,
Of tell, Mope and Faith,
Is there no safe retreat
From women, girls and death?
Is there no happy grange,
Where men are ever free?
Where women could not come;

some spot Where women fret no more ?
Some lone and pleasant doll, Some
"holler" in the ground, Where babies
neveryell And cradles are not found ?
The loud wind blew the snow in my face,
And snickered as it answered : "Nary

Whoseo' billows round mo play, Knowest

away, Where weary man can find A place
to smoke in peace, Where bustles big

The loud winds, soundinga perpetual
shoub, Stopped for a while and
spluttered: "You git out." And thou,
serenest d~oon, That writh such holy

their beaux embrace, Tell me, in all thy

And a voice sweet, but sad, responded: "
