Show B THREE SONGS FROM THE WANDERERS. H( iMp By peculiar coincidence three wander-songs Hi, have appeared simultaneously in the magazines of K the month, and as they each have an individual m charm, we reproduce them below: SS j $ H!l LET'S GO BACK TO BORNEO. HL Let's go down to S,ulu Sea Bf I am tired of old Canton, B Shanghai's had enough of me, B Nothing good in French Saigon, K Macao of the Portugee, H All this China side's too slow H Let's go sail the Sulu Sea H, Let's go back to Borneo! R On the bund at Singapore W Chinks and Sikhs stroll up and down Yellow rajahs from Lahore, Half-baked klns to see the town. By this crowd I set no store, All this feeble Malay show-Say, show-Say, let's sail from Singapore-Lot's Singapore-Lot's 0 back to Borneo I No place duller than Penang Twice 1 nad the fever there. Gad! the sleepy isle can hang, White and brown, for what I care, Dyak and orang-outang, Whore they are I want to go Sink or swim, leave dull Penang Let's go back to Borneo! I can see the place in dreams When the moon shines on the bay Liquid fire the water gleams. Phosphorescent flamee a)t play. Why, but yesterday it seems That we watched the turtles glow Like gold patches in my dreams Let's co back to Borneo! Edward Barron in Century. |
