SASSAFRAS
OH, here's, oh, here's your sassafras! —Across the stall, (as I did pass), —Lo, in small bundles red and lone,The savory woodland stuff was shown!Here's sassafras!
Here country memories to buy!Here Tyre and Nineveh and Rome;And youth, spice-laden, going byWhen the round sun is low in sky,And home, home!
I had not thought it long ago,Since we came home across the grass —But just a yesterday or so —Till that call shook me to and fro;Here's sassafras!
