Before I was a travelled bird, / I scoffed, in my provincial way, / At other lands; I deemed absurd / All nations but these U. S. A.
And -- although Middle-Western born -- / Before I was a travelled guy, / I laughed at, with unhidden scorn, / All cities but New York, N. Y.
But now I've been about a bit -- / How travel broadens! How it does!
And I have found out this, to wit: / How right I was! How right I was!
