For the Last TIme.

For the Last Time.
Had you known The last night you sailed out
With hand Of ri0ious chicks
To scare al the neighhorhood roundabout
With your lack o. lantern tricks
To think il the most hilarious fun
To tap on . window pane and run,
While somebody shouted, You better scooi
Before GET my gun and shoot'-
o Wouldn't tive seemed trife sad
Had you thought Of the drca1 iafe
OF not always remaning little lad
To thus wildly disspaie
Had you known the last time the old handsled
On each shiny slippery shoe.
Down the long white hill 50 swiftly sped
With you in It's merry crew
Had you known that you ever would grow 50 old.
ThafYour blood would become so sluggish and cold
Had you known when il came, the very last time
When YOU didn't consider the upward climb
0 wouldn't you then have regreuully sighed
And Wfinkled your brow with a irown
At refusing 10 drag up the steep hillside
For the sake Of sliding down ?
It's mercy perhaps that We never know
When the Hateful moment arrives
Which puts in our hands the laborious hoe
And changes the trend Of our lives;
When We drop our toys for the very last time
/ And set our feet 10 upward climb,
Longer and sleeper and slipp' 'rier, too,
Than that old hin down which We flew;
For We toll for The summit Of MI Success,
And the cause Of our anxious irown
Is the fear We hardly Ike 10 confess
That We may come sliding down.
