Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander? Whither from this pretty home, the home where mother dwells?

Whither from this pretty house, this city-house of ours? "Far and far away," said the dainty little maiden, "All among the meadows, the clover and the clematis, Daisies and kingcups and honeysuckle-flowers."
