THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY.

Down the long broad road It leads away
To pleasant of yesterday
To the orchard wide where the laden trees
Swing to and fro in the balmy breeze
BY the old well-sweep with it, crealing pole
And the big white rock by the swimming hole
An the scent that comes from the mown hay
Whose long drifts lay
Where the sunbeams play
On the long. wide road to yesterday!
The milestones stand with their ting of gray
AS the mind harks back to yesterday.
And the road grows smooth as the eyes be hold
The long lost scenes Of the days of old
Faces bright of the on the sheet and shroud;
Long since wrapped in the shee and shroud;
Welcome shouts from the chums gay
Who romp and play
In the od-time way
By the long, wide road Of yesterday
The evening lamp. through the window shines,
And we see once more the stumbling lines
OF the old textbooks and each puzzling rule
That caused us grief in the hours Of school
And a sweet old face 'gainst the windowpane
Looks down the reach OF the shady lane;
And the welcome CLEANS in her bright eyes play
AS stray
Through the evening grey
Down the old old road to yesterday
Down the long wide road as It leads away
To the old-time OF that yesterday
When the heart was light as the thistles down,
And we little knew OF the hard worl's frown
Where the friends we knew the girls and boys
To divide our woes and to share joys
Where life was sweet and the hours gay
with love and play
In childhood way
At the end of the road to yesterday

OLD SUNNY SIDE UP.

Old Sunny Side Up he used to say:
Eyes, things are little bit dark today,
But just a touch of warm sunshine
Will make this old world look mighty fine,
And pretty soon It will be so bright
That you'll be glad you're alive, all right"
Old Sunny Side Up, he used to say:
"The work little bit hard today,
But It's good for folks to have lots to do,
And the pay, day, will be better too,
And anyway when you've done your work
It's good to feel that you didn't shirk."
Old Sunny Side Up, he used to say:
"The luck seems q little bit tough today,
But it never does any good to NOPE
While the helpfullest thing in this world is hope,
And you bet your life you can't go wrong
If you trust in the Lord and plug along"
Old Sunny Side Up, he did his BEST
He worked and hoped till he went to rest
He never had rated great
As viewed in a worldly light I guess,
But when he left us, dare to say,
He went right home to the brighter day.
