.f,. ll s . f SONAH-27 I 615.23 A- Y J uf . LAMENTATIONS OF A NIGHT NURSE Have you ever tried asleeping in the daytime? If you haven't you must try it just to see How the tiny little noises all around you, Are as magnified as magnified can be. First old L'Ella starts anoisily ascending, And I hear somebody ope' and close her doorsg She begins again her rise and fall unending, Taking passengers to all the different floors. Then some cleanly little body takes a notion, And begins a thorough cleaning of her room, Her ambish will then result in wild commotion, That is wrought with sweeper, dusting mop and broom. Next our Star will start the Vacuum agoing Nearer, closer, draws its loud incessant whirg Overhead an aeroplane comes low'ring, Now and then I hear its dull remittant purr.

A goodly number has weathered the blast The trials and pleasures of the two years past The battle is over, the victory through And our number now is seventyftwo. A.
