A LOST TYPE.

Oh. for glimpse of a natural boy
boy with freckled face!
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid OF grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows fare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster when
You give him word OF praise.
boy who's born with an appetite;
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his piece" with resounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself;
A Robinson Crusoe" reading boy.
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash.
.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair.
With his hat on his toused head.
That his hands and feet are everywhere.
For youth must have room TO spread.
But he doesn't dub his father "old man"
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or think that he knows It all
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF a good. oldfashioned clay;
God bless him. II he's still on earth.
For Es'll make man some day.
