The Worn out Font of Type.

I'm sitting by my desk, George,
Refore me on the fl or
There lies worn out font OF type,
Full twenty thousand score.
And manv months have passed, George,
Since they were bright and new,
And many are the tales they've told
The false, the strange, the true.
Their beauty has all gone, George,
You scarcely now may trace
Upon the snowy medium
The likeness of their face;
They mind me u man, George,
Whose morn of life was full
or promis,, but at evenings close
Was desolate and dull.
What tales Of horror they have told,
Oftempest and of wreck,
OF murder in the midnight hour,
or war full many {" speck"
OF ships that-lost away at sea-
Went down before the blast,
or stiflei cries of agony
As life's Iast moment passed!
OF earthquakes and Of suicides,
Offailing crops Of cotton.
OF bank defaulteFs, broken banks
And banking systems rotten;
OF boilers bursting. steamboats, snaggeo,
OF riots, duels fought,
OF robbers with their prey escaped,
OF thieves with booty caught.
or food, and fire, and accident,
Those worn out types have told;
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old;
OF marriages, Of births and deaths,
OF things to please or vex US;
OF one mans jumping overheard,
Another gone to Texas.
They've told how long sweet summer days
Have faded from our view;
How autumn's chilling winds have swept
The leaf-crcwned 70 est through;
How winters reign hath come and gone
Dark reign Of storm and strife
And how the smiling spring hath warmed
The pale flowers back to life.
can't pretend to mention hall
My inky friends have told,
Since shining bright and beautiful,
They issued from the mould
How unto some they joy have brought,
To others, grief and tears,
Yet fiithfuIly they record kept
OF fast reced ng years.
