And DER the hurried clamor of the street
His old cracked fiddle with his effort made
A haunting story Of the tune he played.
The crowd passed by unheeding. save to

His old hat laid upon the curb to take
Whatever gifts might fall for PHYS

And all the street with twinkling lights

But he caught not their glitter. being

Nor paused to drop a COMA pale faced
youth
In ragged garments, seeming in all truth
Too poor himself to offer aid. His eye
Quickened with passion. Drawing softly
near.
He whispered "Masterr in the players

The old mans face lit up; he stayed his

A moments space he raised his old gray
head
with it's poor, sightless eyes and slowly
said,

Then with his bow slow drawn across the
strings
He loosed his soul and gave it spreading
wings.
Then heard sounds as make the stricken
sore
With poignant yearning yet unsatisied,
And tumut over far flung plains and

And honor bugling in the ruck Of war.
The clang and crash of life, it's hopes and
fears,
And purpose surging up the hill of years.
But through the music one strain held its
