On its rails the quail would whistle in the
early summer morn,
Calling to their hiding fellows in the field
of waving corn.
Ana the meadow larks and robins on the
stakes would sit and sing
TIL the forest shades behind them with
their melody would ring.
There the catbird and the jaybird sat and
called each other names,
And the squirrels and chipmunks played
the chase-and-catch-me games,
And the garter snake was often in un-
pleasant evidence
In the grasses in the corners of the
old
rail
fence.
AS we grew TO early manhood, when we
thought the country girls
In the dladem of beauty were the very
fairest pearls.
Oft from spellin' school or meetin' of the
jolly shuckin bee
Down the old lane we would wander with
a merry little .'she."
On the plea of being tired Gust the coun-
try lover lie).
On grassy seat we'd linger In the NOON
light, she and l.
And we'd paint a future picture touched
with colors most intense
AS we sat there In the corner of the
old
rail
fence.
There one night in happy dreaming we
were sitting hand in hand,
Up so near the gates of heaven we could
almost hear the band,
When she heard a declaration whispered
In her lis'ning ear
One she often since has told me she was
mighty glad to hear.
On my head there's now desert fringed
with foliage of gray,
And there's many thread of silver In
her dear old head to-day,
Yet the flame of love is burning In oul
bosoms as intense
AS It burned in the corner Of that OLD
rail fence.
