The Old Printer.


neg sketch, but too near truth tomaks much t4a
see him at'his case,
With his anxious, cherries race,
Worn and brown
And the types unceasing click,
As they drop within hissstck,
Seems Of life,s old clock the tick
Running down.
Years, years away have flown
And the printer long I've known,
Boy and man;
Time was, when step elate
Distinguished his gait
And his form was tall and straight
We now scan.
I've marked him every day,
AS be passed along the way
To his toll
He's labored might and main,
A living scant to gain,
And some interest small attain
In the soil.
And hope was high at first
And the golden cheat he nursed,
Till he found
That hope is but glare
In cOlu ana IrOsty HlT,
And the promised, pictured fair,
Barren ground.
He meier was reckoned bad.
But I've seen him smile right glad
At "leaded" woes,
While dark and lowering frown
Would spread his features round,
Where virtues praise did sound,
If'twara HcIOSpV
Long years he's labored on,
And The rosy hues are gone
From his sky; :.
For others are his hours
For others are his powers
His days, like passing showers
Fitting by.
You may see him, night by night
BY the lamps dull, dreamy light,
Standing there;
With cobweb curtains spread
In festoons DER his head,
That sooty showers shed
In his hair.
And when the waning moon
Proclaims Of night the noon,
If you roam,
You may see him weak and frail,
As his weary steps do fail,
Inmotion like the snail,
Vending home.
His form by years is bent,
To his hair u tinge is lent
Sadly gray;
And his teeth are sore decayed,
And his eyes their trust betrayed,
Great havoc time has made
With his clayl
But soon will come the day
When his form win pass away
From your view;
And the spot shall know no more
The sorrows that he bore,
Or the dis. ppointments sore
That he knew.
