That Little Girl Chum

The remembrances of childhood
grow more sacred as we plod along
through the fifties and seventies. Hal
lowed by time, they very properly
constitute half the pleasure and two
thirds the consolation of age. Ma
ture was kind enough to create the
normal man with tendency to for
get sad and annoying incidents, and
to remember and glorify every pleas
ant circumstance from his fifth to his
fifteenth year. AS we dream among
these tender sentiments, perhaps
there is no charm so potent as the
vision of our boy and girl playmates
Age, wrinkles and gray hair are baf-
fled from the shrine in which we place
that happy company They exist for
us as round of limb care free and
bright of eye, as though we had
romped with them but yesterday. We
shall be better men and women for
indulging in these reveries and none
should begrudge us the solemn plea
sure to be found therein. Nor need
some little maid, the star companion
of our youth, receive an enyious
glance or be the subject of an unkind
thought, even if we summon her out
of the far distant past with more
than usual zest and eagerly admit,
what the earlier years forbade us to
do. IN, Il oil So a
making that comradship perennial.
| know a pool in deep, deep wood,
mellow light on its surface plays.
And the clouds float by in its moss
trimmed depths, as they did in my
youthful days.
On an oak near by, in the scanned
bark, are letters of strange design;
Not the careless eye but my own quick
heart, can read there a name with
mine.
You loved and knew not, my little
girl chum;
loved, nor the feeling knew;
Neither kiss. nor embrace, hand clasp,
tender word pighted troth with
you.
Yet the fates were kind, that after
noon, and we planned for the very
next day
After sixty years l am here sweet
heart, eager that game to play.
Our castle of old was a boulder huge,
now covered with vines and moss;
Join me there little chum, you said
you would; the litter aside l toss
O mem'ry, saddest of Heavens gifts,
vet not to be lost for them all,
Through you, to this rock, to this tree
and pool the playmate of youth |
call.
(R. T. PATTEN) .
