BEYOND REPAIR.

You can take piece of china that
been broken by the maid,
And can put the thing together il you
know the members trade.
You can mend the thing so neatly that
no one will ever know.
Thakit has e'er been shattered by an
uncOnsidered blow.
You can take the heart that's broken
by some small, hirtatious girl,
And can mend the fractured pieces till
they's smooth as any pearl
Az, so that that hearts possessOr feels
as sturdy as an oak,
And forgets that e'er it happened that
his heart was ever "broke."
You can fall from bicycle and make
pieces of your nose,
You can break your coilar-bone, OF
you can fracture all your toes !;
You can crush your arms in splinters
you can smash your either leg,
And the doctor he will fix it till it
whole as any egg.
You can smash an ocean record, bu
that record is still there.
You may break a trotting record wit
rapid little mare,
And leave the old standing Just q
whole, quite as complete,
As when it sent the jockeys a-buzzin
through the street.
But, alas If you are angry, and hay
angry words TO say,
Beware a broken silence or you
surely rue the day,
For the silence that is broken by Il
women or the men,
Is thing that can't be mended, car
be rendered whole again.
