Analysis of Longing for New Jersey
Jersey winds blast, twirl and howl.
The rain dances and sings
as it clatters on roof and pane.
The fierce salty waves crash over the beach.
Fralingers is just within reach
Folklore tells the Devils tail
Bogs of cranberries and trees of pine
Farms and fields older than our west
Blueberries and tomatoes, peaches at their best
Oh how I long for my New Jersey Nest!
