THE OLD MAN SINGS.

There's a wobble in the jingle and a stumble in
the meter,
And the accent might be clearer and the volume
be colnpleter,
And there might be much improvement in the
stress and intonation,
nunciation;
But there's music, like the harper played before
the ancient kings
When the old man takes the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings;
There is laughter choked with tear-drops when
the old man sings
And we form ring about him, and we place him
In the middle,
And he hugs up to his withered cheek the poor,
old broken fiddle,
And a smile comes on his features as he hears
the strings vibration,
And he sings the songs of long ago with falter-
ing information;
And phantomS from the distant past his broken
music brings,
And trooping from their dusty graves come
long forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the old
man sings.
We let the broken man play on upon the broken
fiddle,
And We press around to hear him, as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound Of many wedding bells in all the
music surgeS-
Then we hear their clamor s1nothered BY the
sound Of funeral dirges
IT'S the story Of his lifetime that in the music
rings
AND every life's blind mans tune that's
played on broken strings
AND so we sit in silence while the old man sings
