He never stumbled, reared or broke;
he never missed word,
And though he was 30 like me, he'd
been a gent once, 1 could see;
I amt much strong on poetry, but
this is what l heard:
"Well dance a merry saraband from
here to drowsy Samarcand.
Along the sea, across the land the
birds are flying South,
And you, my sweet Penelope, out there
somewhere you wait for me
With buds of roses in your hair and
kisses on your mouth.
"The mountains are all hid in mist;
the valley is like amethyst;
The poplar leaves they turn and
twist; oh, silver, silver green!
Out there somewhere along the sea
ship is waiting patiently
While up the beach the bubbles slip
with white afoat between.
THE tide-hounds race far up the
shore-the hunt is on! The
breakers roar
(Her spars are tipped with gold and
DER her deck the spray is flung;
The buoys that rollic in the bay, they
nod they way, they nod the way!
The hunt is up! I am the prey! The
hunters bow is strung!'
"Out there somewhere,-"says 1 to
me. by Gosh! 1 guess that's
poetry!
Out there Observation-Disclosures
with kisse on her mouth"
And then, l thinks |, 20 college guy,
your talk gets me in the eye,
The North is creeping in the air;
the birds are flying South"
Yet then the sun was shining down,
a-blazing on the little town,
A mile or so way down the track
a-dancing in the sun.
But somewhere, as I waited there,
there came a SILVER in the air;
THE birds are flying South" he
says. "The winter has begun"
Says l, then let's be on the float. You
certainly have got my goat;
You make me hungry in my throat
for seeing things that's new.
Out there somewhere we'll ride the
range a-looking for the new and
strange;
My feet are tired and need change.
Come on! It's up to you!
There amt no sweet Penelope some
where that's longing much for
me,
But 1 can smell the laundering sea
and hear the rigging hum;
And l can hear the whispering lips
that fly before the outbound ships,
And l can hear the breakers on the
sand a-calling Gomez
And then that slim, poetic guy he turn
ed and looked me in the eye;
g.. It's overland and overland and
overseas to-where?"
Most anywhere that isn't here" !
says. His face went kind OF
queer;
"The place we're in is always here
The other place is there"
He smiled, though, as my eye caught
his. Then what a lot of there
there is
To go and see and go and see and
see some more"
He did fancy step or two. Says he,
II think III go with you"
. . Two moons, and we were bak-
ing in the straits at Singapore
Around the world and back again; we
saw it all. The mist and rain
In England and the hot old plain
e. from Needles to Berdoo.
We kept a-rambling all the time I
rustled grub, he rustled rhyme
Blind-baggage hoof it, ride or climb
we always put it through.
Just for a con I'd like to know Eyes, he
crossed over long ago;
and he was right, believe me, Bod
if somewhere in the South,
Down where the clouds lie on the sea
he found his sweet Penelope
With buds of roses in her hair and
kisses on her mouth,
