song,

But the monkeys crept out of the tree-tops—

An eager and wondering throng.

The birds and the beasts of the forest

Kept hidden and silent that day,

But the monkey-folk formed a procession

And followed the minstrel away.

And thus did we give up the forest

To dwell with our brothers, the men—

Farewell to the beautiful jungle!

'Twas long ere I saw it again!

Part Second.

THE WAYS OF MEN.

Then away to a far distant country

On a drift that they said was a ship,

And I studied the ways of my master

And profited much by the trip.

And we sailed to his home in fair Naples,

Where I studied the language of men,

And I sat on a bench with his children,

But soon we went sailing again.

And I made some nice friends on the voyage,

And engaged in a pretty romance.

I charmed all the ladies by climbing,

And one of them taught me to dance.

Yet often I longed for the jungle—

Its song and the rustle of wing—

And sometimes at night in my slumber

I talked with our elephant king.
