He left the little old town, one day.
To pursue success and to win renown;
The seasons passed in too dull a way
To give him joy in the little old town.
In the little old town the streets We're
wide
And the buildings low and pleasures
cheap,
And he pitIed those who were satisfied
To stay where the people We're half
asleep.
He left the little old town to win
The large rewards that to worth be-
long,
To add to the city's unceasing din,
To try his powers among the strong,
And he proudly thought, as he turned to
At the little old town in its peacefulness
OF a distant glorious day of days
When he would return, having claimed
success.
He thought of the villagers doing there,
Deaf to Ambitions persuasive call,
Content, because they were free from
To claim rewards that were few and
small
And he thought Of girl whose eyes were
wet
When, wishing him well. she said good
by,
But he hurried away. to soon forget
Where the roar was loud and the walls
were high.
| And often he thought in his lonely nook,
| When his muscles ached and his heart
| was sad,
! or the little old town with its sleepy look
Where the streets were wide and the
| children glad,
And often he thought of the peace out
there,
And often he wondered If, after all.

The days were long and rewards were

He had thought of glorious day OF day:
When he would return to the little ok
town
And listen to those who would give hin

For his proud success and his wide re

And tomorrow he viii be travelling back
