$50 soon,
To the land where the grown man
: lives?
You'd you barter your toys and your
u fairy things
For the things that the grown man
gives?
Would YOU leave the haven whose
doors are set
With the Jewels of Loves alloy
I For the land of emptiness and regret?
G, Would you go, little boy. little boy?
It's land far off. little boy, little boy.
~ And the way it Is dark and steep;
d md once WOW havn nassed through Its
IA doors, little boy,
G You mayn't even come back to
sleep,
here is no tucking in, no goodnight
kiss,
No mornings OF childhood Joy,
! It's passion ami pain you give for
this,
Think we'll, little boy, little boy.
Little boy, little boy, can't you see
the ghosts
That live In the land off there;
TIE "brcken hearts, flair hopes" all
:5 dead;
'Iost faith" and grim despair?
There's train for that land in the
after years,
4 When old Time rushes in to des-
troy
The walls that stand tween the Joy
and the tears
So don't go, little boy, little boy.
