wish could go back ten years and play
by Tahoe's shore,
And sail the lake and smell the pines and
hear the fishers lore;
And hunt the flowers in the woods and
berries wild and sweet.
1t all comes back like yestsrday-the
years are all too sleet,
n drone of insects filled the air, and
the bob-white called its mats,
The river sang its anthems as it ran to
meet its fate.
And at even ng from the valley and the
cool and verdant dells,
The cattle Games lowing to the music OF
their bells.
The minnows in the shadows always
scrambled out Of reach,
Where we all made lovely castles on the
smooth white sandy beach,.
But the sunbeams always caught them
as they darted meath the waves
And the strangest part about it was that
they were willing slaves.
We hunted shells and pebbles and we
k1pped tbein on the lake,
But we traded all the choicest to each
Other-give or take
And We used to watch the fishing boats
come in and then go out
How we pleaded with the fishermen for
just one speckled trout.
! suppose the wicked woodmen have laid
all the hillsides bare,
But I'd love to see the deep blue lake-it
surely must he there
I'd love to see the frs again. to hunt for
ripened cones,
70 walk the Indian Carpet-and to hear
the cedar's means.
! want to look on Mount Tallac and all
the crested hills.
And paddle as | used to in the nervous
brooks and rills.
For one more sight of that dear place We
knew as Emerald Bay.
I'd give up lots of precious time that
brought me yesterday.
