Say boys you've worst it when YOU
stray
Beyond the line of Iowa.
1t matters not which way you 90,
My friend you'll always find it so.
Sometimes he thinks himself quite
smart
At writing rhymes and this and that,
And then again it makes him start
10 see what foolishness he's at.
OF all his defects and mistakes
The world takes note and laughs
outright,
But when virtue in him wakes
1t haughtily ignores the sight.
Thus let it be. IT'S better far
10 breast the waves of scorn and hate
And battle strengthened reach your
Smoothe, waveless seas delitate.
Parting.
We're on that dreamy border land
here Summer in her faded shawl
Stands weeping by the garden wall
With withered roses in her hand.
Disheveled on her shoulders lie
Her tresses strewn with thistle down
BY Autumn's breath there softly blown
How sad, dear Summer this Good bye"
Thy first sweet kiss and last caress
Together in my broken heart
Lie cherished. They have played their part
My love for thee | here confess.
