 Whom Days Wuz Long. Ez spring comes back it somehow brings To me sense oS better things; It takes me back gnN forty year. When days wux long an' skies wuz clear. But work Is work an life Is real, TT won't never do to half way feel E1 if yerd sorter like to drift Away In dreams, CT floats rift Uv wand'Tin' sunshine orost the floor. No; childhood days an dreams is OCT; Them long bright hours is Iona sence past, The spring of life can't allers last; Fer autumn comes an brings the rain, An life ne'er looks the same again. But ez said the spring time brings To mo @ sense of better things; It takes me back full forty year. When days wuz long and skies wux clear.
 Arthur Bradford Grover. in Light
 Kissing the Rod. Oh! heart of mine. we shouldn't
 Worry sol What we missed of calm we couldn't
 Have. you knowl What we've met of stormy pain And of sorrows driving rain We can better meet again
 Tit blow. We have erred in that dark hour
 We have known, When our tears fell with 8 shower,
 All alone. Were not shine and shadow blent Az the gracious Master meantI Let us temper our content
 With His own For. we know, not Rery morrow
 Can be sad; So, forgetting au the sorrow
 We havo had, Lot - fold away our fears And put by our foolish tears, And through all the coming years
 Just be glad
