The following iines which VIC copy from INC
Arkansas state Gazette arc full OF genuine poetry
TIE OLD CANOE.
Where tho rocks are gray and the shore is steep
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Who're the rugged pine, in it, lonely pride,
Leans gloomv over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushcs tall and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
Where the shadow ID heavy the whole day through,
Lays at its moolinss the old canoe
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea-brd's wings that the storm hath Topped,
And crossed on the railing one DER one,
Like folded hands when the work Is done;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silyery screen,
And the solemn owl, with his dull too hoo"
Settles down on the side Of tho old canoe
The stern, half sunk in the Shiny wave,
RotS slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss crceps o'er its dull decay,
Hiding the moldering dust away,
Like the hand that pauts Ger the tomb howcr,
Or the ivy that mautlos the iallon tower;
While many blossom OF liyeliest hue
Springs up DER the stern of the old canoe
The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light winds play with the boat at will,
And lazily i'll and out again,
Il floats the length Of its rusty chain,
Like the weary mdrch VI lhc MINUS VI tiuhcb
That meet and part AT the noontids chime;
And the shore i kissed ut each turn anew,
BY the dripping bow OF the old canoe.
o. many a time with a careless hand
have pulled it away from the pobbly strand,
And padded it down where the stream runs quick
Where tho whrls wild and tho edd!es are thick;
Aud laughed ss leaned oer the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as lean oer the crumbling side.
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is gravor grown,
And the laugh that hear has soscr tone,
And the hands that lent TO the light skif wings,
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
But love to think Of the hours that few,
Az rocked where the whirls their wild spray threw
Ere tho blossoms waved, or the groen grass grew
DER the modering stern of tho old canoe.
