The Old Man Sings.

From the Californian Illustrated Magazine
There a wabhle in the jingle and stumble
in the meter
And the accent might be clearer and the vol.
ume he completer.
And there might he much Improvement in the
stress and information,
And a polish might be added to the crude pro-
nunciatiOn;
But there's music such as once was played
before the ancient kings,
When the old man plays the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings;
There is laughter chOked With tear drops
when the old man sings.
Ard we form a ring around him, and we place
him in the middle,
And he hugs up to his withered cheek the
poor old broken fiddle,
And n smile comes on his features as he hears
the strings vibration.
And he sings the songs of long ago with falter-
ing information;
And phantom from the distant past his dis
tant music brings,
AndtrOOping from their dusty graves come
long forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the old
man sings.
And while the broken man is playing on 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 smothered by the
sound of funeral dirges
'Tis 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.
