A Boy That Knew.
A boy that | knew when the skies
were all blue
And the fields of the morning were
sparkling with dew,
With smile on his face and a smile
in his heart,
He walked from the phantom of trou.
BILE apart;
And his laughter was sweet as the Tilt
of song,
For he knew not the care of the world
or its wrong;
The past and the future might bury
their rue
The day was enough for that boy that
knew.
A youth that knew as he stood
where the way
Leads down to the mists and the toll
and the fray
Bore smile on his face and kept
faith in his soul.

you is the goal!"
Though others were crushed and
though others might wear
On their foreheads the emblems If
doubt and despair,
He would win in the strife, standing
stalwart and ture,
For achieve" was the word of that
youth that | knew.
