TEDDY's GRIN.

TEDDYS GRIN.
Praised be the fates that gave hin ~,
Our hero of San Juan;
He who in ragtime climbed N. ,,..,
Where grinning Death looked ~
He who with glasses firmly gripn.d
On his aggressive beak
Hath walked where avalanebes az.
Or lcaped from peak to peal 'psp
And on the highest peaks took b,o,.,
Chivalrous as III Cid
All, no one ever grinned at death
As Teddy Roosevelt did
He met the lion tooth to tooth
And took that lion in;
The lion lived in truth
That could survive his grin.
With feet that snurned the laudscan. -
lie chased the bear apace - s'ea
And ne'er bruin lives who's seen
That smile upon his face
The hop-toad and the coyote lie
Where they fell side by side,
All things that had no wings TO sv
Looked on that grin and died
From bare lone peaks to wooded "a,
Deep, haunted silence broods.
And never growl from hidden den
Dsturbs the soudcs.
And may dwell in deep conten,
In sylvan forest glade;
The lives of proving beasts are sne,,

He met them aud he took them in
They gazed on him aud died
