The morning call., 1891-03-08


Is meier understood by me.
The third is supposed to have been written
by young lady at seaside resort where
there we're not enough young men to 90
round.
Brea k, break, break.
AT the feet of thy crags, o sea,
But oh : for the presence of one young man
To come and make love TO me.
There isn't youth in America, it is safe
to state, but can give the original of the fol-
lowing:
The boy stood on the back yard fence,
Whence ali but him had fled
The flames that lit lis fathers uarn
Shone just above the shed.
The bunch o. crackers in his hand,
Two Others in his hat;
with piteous accents loud he cried:
never thought of that
bunch of crackers to the tail
OF one small dog he'd tied
The dog In anguish sought the barn,
And mid itsfuins died.
The sparks few wide, and red, and hot.
That lit upon that brat;
They fred the crackers in his hand
Aud exc those IN his hat.
Then came burst of rafting sound
The b y? Where was he gone?
ASK OF the winds that far around
Strewed bits of meat and bone,
And scraps of clothes and balls and tops,
And nails, and hooks and yarn;
The relics of the dreadful boy
Who burned his fathers barn.
When Gray wrote his grand "Elegy" he
did not dream that he would be responsible
indirectly for many such parodles as these:
Full many a gem of purest ray
The dark unfathoned caves OF ocean bear;
And yet the genuine are seldom seen.
And most Of them are paste which people wear
Full many Joke old as the ancient hills
Within the funny papers We review;
Full many a chestnut dressed In modern frIlls
And palmed of on the world as something new.
Brief poetical quotations are frequently
paraphrased, and often without any loss 10
the truths they convey:
There's many slip
WIKI the cable aad grip.
While the gas holds out to burn
The meter VIII dollars earn
But the of the Limburger clnss where it used
to.
Two voices are there; one is OF the sea,
One of the mountains each a mighty voice
Both offer summer board vociferoEslee
And both are bad, and you may take your choice.
Canght On to the Rye.
"Comin' Through the Rye has been
parodied as often as there are words in the
verses. The following is clever:
Gin a body meet body
Lookin after rye;
Gin a body treat body
Need body cry?
Gin body has quarter
Do or don't you think he oughter
Put IT into rye?

But still am not ready

Tho originals Of the following will be
readily suggested:
No one has such an ucly face
Jut what some Will Ia it trace
charm and make it known,
And WOO it for his own.
You must wake and call me early-call me early,

BE sure and keep on calling me-say fifty times or
more,
Ana when wake III grow because wasn't
Inever had an early fame
To whom did attention paw,
And cody stole NV oirI away
The breaking waves dashed higb-
Dashed high with a right good will.
But with al their dash In ey were nnt so bigb
