Spring Creek Hills

Sometimes, when the autumn's splendor
The woods with glory fills,
/ leave the old towns noises
And 60 to the Spring Creek hills.
] Chamber over the woodlands,
And wander along the stream;
l live my boy days over
Till life is again dream.
hun. for the red thorn's berry,
The oak with the swinging vine,
The silver ash and the cherry
They were all old friends of mine
And oft when the shadows gather
At eve in the wooded glen,
1 hear the tinklirg COW bells
The same as l heard them then.
And think of boy, barefooted,
Who trudged in the woods alone,
His clear voice ever ringing
When driving the cattle home.
Again and again see him;
His heart with a rapture thrills
For the sunset glows, the blossoms,
And the woods of the Spring Creek hills
But a wish sometimes comes to him,
And hope of a time to be,
And the hills he turns to mo untains,
And the brook to far-off sea.
And into the halls of castles
By the Rhine and 'riber's flow,
Forgetting the cows and the blossoms,
Forever his bare feet 60.
Oh, boy, with the fair hair, dreaming,
Why wake in the years to roam
And find there are no castles
Like those in the woods at home?
No strains of far-off music,
No grand cathedral's chime
Like to the tinkling cow bells
In the soft, sweet summertime.
No groves by the classic Tiber,
No walks by the winding Rhone,
Can give him back the boy dreams
He had in the woods alone.

An Old Boy Dreams of
Summer Time

The summer put the idy in
My head that I'm boy again;
And all around's so bright and gay
want to put my team away,
And jest git out WHARF can lay
And soak my hide full of the day.
But work is work and must be done
Yit. as l work l lave my fun,
Jest fancyin' these furries here
Is childhood's paths onc't more so dear;
And so walk through netherlands,
And country lanes, and swampy trails
WHARF long bulrushes bresh my hands;
And, tilted on the ridered rails
Of dead min fences, "Old Bob White"
Whistles his name in high delight,
And whirs away. wunder still,
Whichever way boys feet will
Where trees has fell, with tangled tops
WHARF dead leaves shakes l stop for
breath,
Heerin' the acorn as it drops
Histin' my chin up still as deth,
And watchin' clos't with upturned eyes,
The tree WHARF Mr.. Squirrel tries
To hide hiss'f above the limb,
But lets his own tail tell on him.
| wunder on in deeper glooms-
Git hungry, hearin' female cries
From old farmhouses, where perfumes
Of harvest dinners seem to rise
And ta'ot feller, hart and brane,
With memories he can't explain.
| wunder through the underbrush,
WHARF pig-tracks p'intin' to'rds the
creek,
Is picked and printed in the fresh
Black bottomed lands like wimmern
pick
Their pie-crusts with fork, some way,
When bakin' for camp-meetin' day.
[ wunder on and on and on,
Till my grey hair and beard is gone,
And every wrinkle on my brow
Is rubbed clean out, and shaddered now
With curls as brown and fare and fine
AS tendrils of the wild grapevine
That ust to climb the highest tree
To keep the ripest ones fer me.
wunder still, and here am
Wadin' the ford below the darn
The worter chuckin' round my knee
At hornet t-welt and bramble scratch,
And me a-slippin' crost to see
EfTyner's plums is ripe, and size
The old mans worter- melon patch,
With juicy mouth and drouthy eyes.
Then, after such day of mirth
And happiness as worlds is worth
So tired that heaven seems nigh about
The sweetest tiredness on earth
Is to git home and Aatten out
So tired that you can't fattep enough,
And sort of wish that YOU could spred
Out like molasses on the bed,
And Jest drip off the aidges in
The dreams that never come again.

You can hold copper penny so
CLOSE to the eye that it will blot out
the sun. You may even imagine that
it must be bigger than the sun, be-
cause it can blot It out. In that way
you can hold some miserable scrap Of
dogma, or doctrine, or opinion, up
before your vision so close that it
will blot out the whole, big, wonder
full beauty of Christianity. Much
of the grief in the world is caused by
this habit of obscuring the straight
forward vision ahead with something
that is really little and mean and of
relatively small Importance. Are
you guilty -Kingman Journal.
