TO MY PHONOGRAPH What is home without a Phonograph ? It will make you cry, or laugh ; When you’re lonely, or alone, Wind it up, and hear the tone. Hear the voices sweetly sing, With the pleasure it will bring. Any music you like or please The “Phone” will play with the greatest ease. Should a Friend come in to call, % And the conversation fall ; Just a little below the mark, Start up the “ Phone,” it is like a spark Of inspiration that comes in the dark. ’Tis a gleam of sunshine to.every one. That is fond of music, and fond of fun ; They learn to like it as well as you, And ask every time, have you Records new ? What a vote of thanks We certainly owe, Us Phonograph Cranks ” To Edison, who . Has given us such pleasure complete. In the little machine, so compact and neat. Which graces our homes and parlors so fine; Oh why should we roam abroad in a clime Where Edison’s name has never been heard ? When with us for years, it’s been a household word. I’m sure. I’d be pleased to take him by the hand, And try and convince him ; he would understand, The pleasure we have all enjoyed so long,
