A LEAF FOR HAND IN HAND.
| A LEAF for hand in hand! |
| You natural persons old and young! |
|
You on the Mississippi, and on all the branches and
bayous of the Mississippi! |
| You friendly boatmen and mechanics! You roughs! |
|
You twain! And all processions moving along the
streets! |
|
I wish to infuse myself among you till I see it com-
mon for you to walk hand in hand! |
