The Old Letter.


When all the world seems bountiful
and charming
And there isn't any cloud upon the
sky,
How often do we hear the note
alarming
OF an echo from the distant days
gone by.
When the blossoms wear smile of
expectation
And all the world with promise
seems aglow,
How often your citation
Is destroyed by contemplation
OF the letter that was written long
ago.
Like the frost that comes when
spring is in its heyday,
Like the drouth that turns the
summer into gloom,
Like the thunderstorm that inter-
rupts play day
Comes the unrelenting messenger
of doom.
1t seemed SO free from possible con-
nection
With thoughts of indignation or of
woe.
It was scrubbed with affection,
But it causes dire detection,
The letter that was written long
ago.
