He saved a little day by day,
By putting pleasures all aside;
Through SO years he worked away,
And then, worn out, he died.
The money he had, bit by Bit.
Saved up was given to his son,
Who in year had squandered it
For liquor and for fun.

When sweet Llbbie's home from school
There are voices In the hall
Mixed with bubbling happy laughter,
And the air seems all a-call
With the voices of wild songsters.
And the perfumed days and cool
Are like beads of pearl and amber,
When our Libbie's home from school.
There's frow-frow too of garments
Over tessellated floors;
There are romping bits of music,
There's an opening of doors.
TIL the breath of many blossoms
Comes on breezes sweet and cool,
When our L,bbie's home from school.
Ev'ry day is like a jewel,
Each far fairer than the last.
Slipping past your eager fngers
Slipping faster and more fast!
How we'd love to clasp and hold them,
Days enchanted sweet and COOL
When our hearts are full of music,
When our Libbie's home from school.
Days a-glint with gray-eyed laughter,
Days of red lips, half a-pout,
Rose-rcd cheeks wherein wee dimples
Half are hid, half peeping OUT
Life which erstwhle lay as quiet
As shaded wayside pool,
Wakes into laughing torrent.
When our sweet Libbie's home from
school.
Child. whose ev'ry day is May time!
Would for you Time might stand still!
Would these days might last forever!

Be, dear, as you are to-day!
