A Rows Vacation Time.

Hail that long awaited day
When the schoolbooks laid away,
All the thoughts Of merry youngsters
turn from pages back to play
Done with lesson and with rule,
Done with teacher and with school,
Stray the vagrant hearts of childhood
to the tempting wood and pool!
Who will tell in tune and rhyme
OF the glory and the CRIME,
In the dusty lanes and byways of a
boys vacation time?
Hank, the whistle and the cry
That is piping shrill and high
From the chorus of glad youngster5
troopih8 ritously by!
Say, did sun Ger brightly shine
AS when, with his rod and line,
Tramps the barefoot lad a-fishing, and
the water clear and fine.
Sweet the nurmur OF the trees,
And what glory now he sees,
In the chatter of the wild birds and
the buzz of humble bees!
Hear the green woods cry and call
Through the summer to the fall,
I'VE are waiting. waiting, waiting,
with a welcome for you all"
Hear the lads take UP the cry,
Wltn an echO, Snrlll ana nlSh
1--WE are coming, coming, coming, for
vacation time is nigh!
How the skies are blue and fair,
How the clover scents the air
With a witchery OF fragrance that is
delicate and rare!
How the blossoms bud and blow
And the, green waves flood and flow
In the ocean of boy-happiness, like
pillows to and fro!
All. my heart goes back and signs
When the piping calls and cries
From the hearts OF merry youngsters
like a song OF triumph rise!
And ! would that tune and rhyme
Might be splendid and sublime
In my heart to tell the story Of q boy
vacation timei
