One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home as good calves
should.
But made a trail all benz askew.
a crooked trail, as all calves do,
Since then three hundred years have
fled,
And | infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And hereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up lea day
BY a lone dog that passed that way
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep;
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day, Ger hill and
glade,
Through those old woods a path IA
made.
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent
about,
And uttered words of righteous
wrath
Because twas such a crooked path;
But sim they followed-do not
laugh
The first migrations of that calf,
And through the winding wood-wa.
stalked.
Because h. wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became a lane
That bent and turned and turned
again;
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many a poor horse with his
load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps Of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness
fleet,
The road became a village street.
And this, before men were aware,
A city's crowded t%hroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and a half
frod In the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the Zigzag calf about,
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent,
A hundred thousand men yer led
BY one calf near three centuries
dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost a hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent.
A moral lesson this might teach
Were ! ordained and called to
preach;
Fer men are prone to go 1t blind
Along the c~alf-paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To well-establiished precedent.
To keep the path that others do.
Along which all their lives they
move;
They keep the path a sacred groove,
But how the wise old wood-gods
laugh,
Who saw the first primeyaI calf.
All, many things this tale might
teach
But am not ordained 10 preach.
