tanned his Will-such eyes can glOyerl
Twas l grew strong as he grew weak
Never tongue he had to speak.
Twirled he his cane as he skunk me past
Twas little white hand that grasped it fast
Sti have | got tit stands in our hall
A light rattan with braided ball.
I sent Dick word that had his cane,
And if he would come 'twere his again;
lie answered me back: Twas mine by right
And himself beside, could [ bide the sight
4 will that is conquered opens the way
Sweet the con fession, more proper the yea.
The stronger loves letters the more the scars,
ana gioWerlng eyes can weld the bars.
Twas a vantage ground for a fiery girl,
It. YentUreSome youth gives his cane twirl;
The light rattan gives way to the staff
We've tried them bOth-but can't tell half.
The children ask why once in n while,
Hapa don't walk with that cane; we smile!
lake 1t yourself, dear Richie, l say,
Round Table.
