Writes Verses For Old
Boatmen at Big Reunion

Sunbury. Pa. Sept. S.-The follow
ing verses by Margaret WertZ Clark
of 421 Forster street, Harrisburg
were read at the Old Boatmens Re-
union held here recently and by unan-
inious vote are sent to the Telegraph

by a majority of those who attended
the reunion, the poem being dedicated
to the late Captain William Wer&,
Of Newport:
Once again we meet and welcome
Old-time friends at Rolling Green.
Glad and happy at this meeting
All too short the day will seem.
AS we meet with this and that one
Memories seem TO crowd the day,
And recall the time of boating,
When we sure had right of way"
Along the winding Susquehanna
Slow but sure our boats did glide:
Down the valley. long the mountains
Known, for their beauty far and
wide.
How our hearts rebound with pleasure
AS we view the same old route: /:
Brings to memory friends and boats
And the drivers call or shout.
Boat ahead" And if we hurry
Along this level we can pass
Make the lock and gain a .headway,
Steering straight, we won AT last.
Thus we lived oft night and dav
In the times now past and gone.
AS we braved rain. storm or sunshine.
Nights dark shadows, we longed for
morn.
But listen! Let us stop and think:
Before this glad day brings a close
Many many OF our friends
May be drifting. drifting.-no one
knows.
What a grand and useful lesson
Each and all OF us can bring
To our homes. our friends and loved
ones.
Grand! If we all can join and sing:
Throw out the lifeline, across the
dark wave:
There is a brother whom some one
Somebody's, brother-oh. who then
To throw out the lifeline. his peril to
share?"
Every look. kind word or action.
As our boat glides down iife's
Sure will tell when all is ended.
Let it not "be all a dream"
On the distant shores our cantain
Beckons us with loving hand.
Let us steer our boat, life's VOYAGE.
and in safety we will land
For the bugle soon may sound
Far across the rolling deep.
Calling each. one into port
Peaceful be our dreamless sleep.
There our loved ones now are waittne
Watching from that shining shore.
Listening for the voice of dear ones
And the sound of our fair boat's
oar"
Here this day we meet i'm RIadnoss
Near the Susquehanna's shore
some, day as we steer our 'life
boat,
Meet in Heaven. to part no more.
