The city has streets 2. In the city one sees But the country has roads, Big trams tattle by,
In the country one meets And the breath of the chimneys
Blue carts with their loads. That blot out the sky,
Of sweet-smelling hay, And all down the pavements
And melons and grain; Stiff lamp-posts one sees –
Oh, take me away But the country has hedgerows,
To the country again! The country has trees.

In the country is the rain
Oh, take me away
