The days are gone when / could troll
My hoop along the street,
And with alaughing jest or word
Each idle passer greet:
tFhere'sr 20, now move slow,
In early years nni

But now am a man.

Play marble on the square,
And fly my kite, and ply my top,
Ny coat and trowses tear:
"whistle'' for my whistle now,
FEM marbles is the plan:
The only vent, on which Pm bent,
Is money-l'm a man.
The ladies used to pet me ones,
And praise my hair and eyes,
And kissing went by favor then;
Twas a 4" little prizes"
Whene'er l come, they now are glum,
Each look and word they scan,
And call me ''Sir,n when demur,
And tell me-I'm q man.
No purses now for me they kniti
Alone in crowds / stand;
And none will take my arm, lest
Should offer them my hand;
I0nee was blessed so well dressed,
Blu. now though spick and span,
And "Chevreuip' all from top TO toe,
They're silent-I'm a man.
Oh! happy, early years, when love
Was on the lip and eye,
And lilly hands waved after me,
And glances said "good by:"
When there vas music in my heart,
And life had yet no plan.
Oh! was then happy child
But now am a man.
