KUMEU
New song by Tommy (after his visit to Helensville), " The girl I left bohind me" — in character. They say 3. H. has lost his heart since he went to Kiiverhead soiree. "Tis very odd a man should lose his heart Through, drinking tea and eating tart, That sense should from a head have fled Through going down to Riverhead. J. L. and Joe went out to hunt pigs. They say the pigs hunted them. Thou art gone from my gaze, like a beautiful dream, Poor Daniel was heard to exclaim, But his sighs were not heard 'mid the whistle's shrill scream, As he murmured his fair Nelly's name. And the breeze bore away ea^h lhnyeriiig sigh, And smothered each agonised moan, As he groaned, " Give yonr Tomi-nj 1 - his conge and I Will joyfully call you my own."
