THE GRADUATES

Sing a song of graduates, half a million strong,
Ready to take off their coats and shove the world along:
Halfbacks, centers, guards and ends, full- backs, bows and strokes,
Full of erudition to Impart to common folks

LIfe Common Things
701
THE things of every day are all so sweet-
The morning meadows wet with dew,
The dance of dalsies in the noon, the blue
Of far-off hills where twilight shadows lie,
The night with all its tender mystery of sound
And silence,…

The Changed Cross

It was a time of sadness, and my heart
Although it knew and loved the better part
Felt wearied with the conflict and the strife,
And all the needful discipline of life
And while I thought en these, as given to me-…

Grandma says we're right in style,
A sittin' in our automobile
Grandpa says we're fit to kill,
A-ridin' in our automo-bill

Grateful fer our automo-beel

The Weeping Willow

In yon kay old country churchyard
May be seen a grassy mound:
There is where my mother sleepeth
In the cold and silent ground
Flowers round her grave ure blooming
Feathered warblers sing their song
But my heart…
Settin' On The Horseblock

Settin' on the horseblock,
Gazin' at the sky,
Watchin' of the little clouds
Satlin' slowly by:
Settin' on the horseblock,

Dronin' In the buckwheat flow'rs,
Pourin' in the peas;

EBB AND FLOW
4673
I walked beside the evening sea,
And dreamed a dream that could not be;
The waves that plunged along the shore
Said only, "Dreamer, dream no more"
Homeward I turned from out the gloom,
That sound I heard not in my room;…

What Like is a Lover?
2187
What like is a lover? A lover's like
A straw in the spring wind blowing!
How far he will float, or where he'll atrike
Is past all our wisest knowing
A straw in the wind, now here, now there,
And that's like a lover,…

PAIRY OF EARLY FALL

A web of laces, with silver meshes hoary,
And sparks of fire, lles any shining morning,
What fairy, you will ask, has wrought this glory
Is that the old elm tossing like a fountain

It isn't the love that they have in their hearts,
And neglect, or forget to reveal,
That brightens the lives
Of husbands and wives;
It is telling the love that they feel
It isn't the music asleep in the strings

Leave Taking
2333
You, who do not know, stand by the door and watch from there,
Impatient at the long delay and foolish care
With which I take each little thing from its accustomed place-
The tiny clock, and old Satsuma vase,

Hush, little skeeterbug, hush a-bye,

With nothing to drink and so little to eat,
The natives are tough and their blood is thin,

Lying all around our path,
Let us take the wheat and roses
Casting out the thorns and chaff;

I shot an arrow into the air,

Could not follow it in its flight
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where,
For who…

And underneath the mellow light

While I am in the fire place nook
With Mother Darling, then I hear
