LOOKING BACKWARD.

oh, those happy days Of summer, wher
the harvest sun shone hot,
A flow of mem'ry takes me back, cap
tive to the spot
Where l spent the years of childhood,
and those dreamy summers long
Were written on my boyish mind-a glad,
unmeasured song.
How viewed the old brick schoolhouse
with a frown of hate and scorn,
As I'd strap my books together on a
sunny April morn:
And how moped and languished as a
Gagged bird repines,
When the soft, warm air came teasing
through the honeysuckle vines.
How we used to hail vacation, when the
prison doors were closed,
And geography and "rithmetic" upon the
shelf reposed
When time was but fancy and the
date a banished name,
And all the days but Sunday were to
boyish minds the same.
I can see the grassy path that led me up
and down the creek,
When the MONDAY sun would find me
where the shadows fingered thick,
With ne'er a care but comfort and ne'er
a pain but ease,
With strands of uncombed hair that
swept my forehead in the breeze.
can hear the little rapids where they
Joined the swimming pool:
see my face reflected in the water dark
and cool:
And my fancy hears the splashing of my
boyhoods kindred folk
AS we plunged into the water meath the
overhanging oak.
We knew each little eddy of the water
far and near,
Ev'ry little glancng ripple where the
sunbeams, falling sheer
Out of heavens feecy cloudland. with a
laughing, dancing look.
Seemed to battle their heated foreheads
in the bosom OF the brook.
Oh. the many days I squandered with a
clumsy hook and line
Up and down the little streamlet where
the silversides would shine:
And I'd watch my hook in silence, till
the summer sun was low
And my footsteps led me homeward
through the paths l used to know.
oh. for one brief day of childhood but
to be boy again.
Just to feel the free abandon of a sum-
mers day as then,
With heart in tune with nature. n mind
that knew no care.
And an aimless destination in the world
of anywhere.
