Not that dread the growing years
Or fear tho Valley OF my Tears,
But there are moments would fain
Turn back the hands Of Time. and sense
Tho JOY that only obtain
Al boyhood's knothole in the fence
y sacred spot so dusty lain
The games I've seen In mans estate
Were nothing to the games 1 saw
When. reckless of all moral law
l and my unlawful mate
In ocular larceny. peeped through
The knothole by the players gate
And heard tho umpire yell "Strike twom
And saw the batter tap the plate.
Or perched upon the fence we stole
a quarters worth Of gratis JOY!
And l, and that hghwayman boy
Howled with n unison OF soul!
Those were the days. and those thu r,n..
How sweet their memories Ger me roll!
And how their recollection tames
This foolish putting at hole.
We sat- we two the other day
We men grown fat with lazy age
And turned back to that early page
Where we saw games and didn't pay!
And with single voice we cried
Along our boyhood's lowered way:
What are the plush-seat games beside
Our knothole games of yesterday!'
