Now at the crossing. boy. you stand,
With sturdy heart and strong right hand,
Ruddy check by the breezes famed.
And sunshine streaming DER the land.
Boy at the crossing, look! awake!
Oh, be sure of the road you take!
Boy at the junction. now beware!
For many roads are crossing there,
And sins deceitful thoroughfare
Seems bright and smiling-have a care!
Oh. study we'll before you choose
which you Will take and which refuse!
Right roads crossed by the roads of sin,
Naught to tell but the voice within
Where right shall cease and wrong begin:
You Will be tempted; men have been.
For strange roads cross roads everywhere,
And you at the junction-boy, beware!
Pause at the crossing, boy, to-day,
And count the costs. dear. while you may
Think OF the mother far away.
And breathe the prayers she used to say.
Then all your doubts will disappear,
And show the right road. straight and
clear
